Does it really matter whether I leave four inches of blank space at the top of the first page of my orders?

Answer: 

Yes. Part VI.B.1. of the Administrative Procedures for Electronic Case Filing requires the four-inch top margin because that is where the judge’s electronic signature is affixed. If you do not leave that space (or do not leave enough space), the signature will obscure the caption and maybe even some of the text of the order.
