I wouldn't call it a bigger network necessarily. The second network has two more output neurons compared to the first. Rest are the same. How much difference that makes. Idk

That shouldn't create a lot of difference but yes the performance should be worse than the first network in that case. It's far easier to predict two outputs than four. You can try increasing linear layers and using a slower learning rate to see if the model improves.

I could add more linear layers and based on my experiments it would probably help but my intention is to compare my new model with the old one for which I presume the architecture should be as close as possible.

Ideally it should. In that case you will have a worse performance for the second architecture. When you compare you'll have to say that. But it's pretty expected that the second architecture will not perform as well as the first one, so I'm not sure if there's much use comparing. But it's definitely doable.
