Answer 1

Step1: Display the static block content using

<div class="css_class_of_container" id="ID_OF_THE_STATIC_BLOCK_CONTAINER">
    <?php 
        echo Mage::getModel('cms/block')
            ->load('STATIC_BLOCK_IDENTIFIER')
            ->toHtml();
    ?>
</div>

Step2: Add css to hide the static block container by default using

.css_class_of_container { display: none;}

Step3. Use javascript to show and hide the static block based on the number of custom options available.

in app/design/package/theme/catalog/product/view/options.phtml

<?php if (count($_options)):?>
    <script type="text/javascript">
        <?php if(count($_options) > 4):?>
            //if you are using jquery
            jQuery(document).ready(function(){
               jQuery("#ID_OF_THE_STATIC_BLOCK_CONTAINER").show();
            });
            //if using native javascript
            setTimeout('showhiddenStaticBlock()', 500);
            function showHiddenStaticBlock() {
                document.getElementById("ID_OF_THE_STATIC_BLOCK_CONTAINER").style.display = 'block';
            }
        <?php endif;?>
    </script>
<?php endif;?>
