Apple Intelligence is now available on iPhone, iPad, and Mac!

There are third-party USB-C to Lightning Adapters available (Amazon is one obvious source), however, functionality is generally limited to Power, Data Sync (with a computer) or Audio. As such, your Lightning multi-port adapter is unlikely to work as expected - if at all.
Cascading adapters is usually folly - as doing so can introduce all manner of issues. Lightning is not just a proprietary connector - it is a completely different interface, both in terms of electrical and signalling standards.
Your new iPad has a USB-C interface. When used with USB-C accessories, you’ll benefit from additional capabilities and improved throughput.

In other words, you will need to purchase all brand new USB-C adapters, preferably, Apple branded USB-C adapters, to use with that new 2020 iPad Air 4 with USB-C connection.
Best of Luck to You!
