Connections and changes of settings to use 2 controllers XDJ-AZ AlphaTheta ... to get 4 "real physical" decks ... I've VirtualDJ PRO on my windows11 laptop... I want to use only the mixer of my "main" AZ (decks 1+2) to control my other 2 decks (3+4) on my "second" AZ ... Could you explain me how I must connect all the devices and which settings I must apply on each device... Thank you in advance :)

Perhaps you can clarify what tou are trying to do?
The XDJ-AZ is already a 4 deck mixer for non-analog/external sources (DJ software, USB sources, streaming sources).
The unit was only designed to mix analog sources on the outside channels (what is consideded decks 3 and 4 in the 3124 physical layout).
Adding a second will more than likely add more problems (and most likely not solve your problem, controllers don't control other hardware, they control the software). What you may want is a mixer with a soundcard giving you control of 4 external sources (or an aggregate of soundcards that does that).

Using two XDJ-AZ to have access on 4 physical layers is not something that can be done in an easy manner, but it's doable.
However, splitting the audio between those two controllers would create a real mess.
The following advise may or may not work. Use at your own discretion.
Connect both XDJ-AZ on your PC
Switch "main" AZ channels 1+2 to PC mode (via source menu on XDJ-AZ)
Switch "secondary" AZ channels 3+4 to PC mode.
On VirtualDJ DON'T TOUCH ANYTHING on mappers tab.
Only on audio settings tab you'll have to figure out how to configure the ASIO driver outputs of deck 3 and deck 4 to go on the secondary AZ.
Then everything should work.
PS: Generally speaking those All In One units are not designed/meant to be used like this.
You are stretching what's possible to do really thin here..
The best option would be to get 2 CDJ's to use as control surfaces for decks 3 and 4, rather than using a second XDJ-AZ.
Considering what you're trying to do, it makes most sense (even financially) to get two used CDJ-2000NXS2 and use them as control surfaces. It offers much more flexibility and even saves some precious booth space.
