In siteswap i believe it is called [4x,2] - sorry for the obvious answer.

Not only "wrong" as James Francis noted, but not a possible notation.
Brackets are specifically for multiplex and there is no comma within
because the balls are in the same hand. So [4x2] would be possible,
showing a Uniplex version for a '3' throw.
Parentheses are for sync patterns and must include a comma between
hands.

And if there is a "high throw", it is not a '4x' anyway. The site-
swap is probably '522' with a pair of '2's waiting beneath, allowing
the '5' to be as high as you want to do what you want with the '2's.
Tossing '2's is done, as for instance by William Penman.
