I'm using the supplied hanging kit for my light. I was wondering if there's an easy way to add an OR90 light bar or two to my setup without drilling any more holes in the ceiling?

You could make it work with parts from the hardware store

Get some 80/20 aluminum rails, the thumb screws on your V4 slide right in. replace the the hanging nuts with standard M4 nuts to hold the V4 together, drill and use a metal screw to mount the OR bar to the rail, drill a hole in the rail and slide a M4 bolt through and attach the hanging nuts.
