I was thinking this too, if you have an open-ended 4x slot it can fit a 16x card but only runs at 4x.
TBH if you're running 10Gb you may want to look for a board with on-board 10Gb rather than a PCIE which will save you the slot. My HP server has a swapable daughter board for the nic so you can chose 4x1Gb or 4x10Gb.
I already have the server, it doesn't make any sense to change it. Above all, as someone else has pointed, the 4 lanes are enough for transcoding.
