Can I install four G.SKILL Trident Z5 RAM sticks in the ASUS ROG STRIX X870-A or just two?

It's unlikely you'll receive 4 sticks of 6400Mhz RAM. AM5 doesn't support that configuration, though a pair might work.

Choosing four DDR5 sticks can be risky, especially with high-speed dual-rank DIMMs—success rates are minimal. It might function at around 3600 MHz, but achieving stable performance above 5200 MHz is unlikely. For 192GB of RAM, you have no option but to use two DIMMs. If you need less than 96GB, a single pair suffices.

Hey there! This forum is your space if you're dealing with a lot of memory. DDR5 is still emerging, and running four sticks can cause major issues. Most discussions here focus on the challenges of handling four DDR5 modules together.
