Here is a method you can use if you understand the featured.tpl and if 4.4 is similar to 4.1-3. You can use the POS variable of the root featured products to distinguish the different classes of featured products. Your featured products array sent to the template will have all the products you have selected - you just display it with the templates based on the POS.

You can duplicate the featured.tpl and change the titles based on your updated featured sections. You can call your new featured templates from welcome.tpl.

Then you can create a new products_t.tpl to specifically display your featured products. You include this new products_t_featured.tpl from your new featured templates

Inside the new products_t_featured.tpl, you can use if/than statements based on the position to display the various feature sections as you want.

This would be quick and dirty - not as nice from an administrative point of view than you could get from hiring someone to do a mod for you.
