If you open up a 2 pole motor you will see the stator is in 3 parts which the wire winds around. These create 6 electromagnetic poles which cause the motor to spin as it tries to align the rotor magnets. A 4 pole motor usually has more sets of windings to make more electromagnetic poles.

not really sure i follow.... 4-pole just means the rotor has four slices of magnet on it instead of 2.... you lost me on the "sets" of windings part.
2 pole
When I was looking for a diagram I came across a diagram for a 4 pole motor using 3 sets of windings so maybe it is possible to use the same stator. I'm no expert.
