Hi Tom

I would not use the first sentence.

My personal preferences would be these:

2) She is at least five feet four inches tall. (This sounds a bit over-done.)

3) She is at least five foot four.
4) She is at least five four. (Presumably everyone would already know that the discussion is about how tall she is.)
