Yes you can do that. You can initially load the entire project into the Ren (i.e. 80 programs, bunch of sequences), hit the NEXT SEQ tab and all the sequences are assigned to pads and you fire them off at will, controlling if it's sudden or comes in at the next bar or whatever, it's a standard MPC feature.
So in your situation, you'd need to load all your 4000 sequences and AKPs into the Ren (AKPs one by one, sequences via ALL), tweak it all as required so you're happy with the Ren versions, then re-save as a single Ren project file. You can then take that with you to a gig and load that up at the start.
I believe xparis was referring to not being able to physically load a sequence file from disk while the current sequence is playing - this does halt playback. As long as all your sequences are already in memory, you're good.
