The proper way to make these cuts is the way you described. Set the fence
to 2" and cut.

With more practice and experience you will learn to recognize what
situations are likely to produce kickback. This is not one of them.

Absolutely agree. Started to post similar sentiments earlier this morning,
but got sidetracked, then OE barfed and deleted my carefully worded
masterpiece, so said to hell with it.

Simplest solution is to just cut the 4 x 4 sheet of plywood roughly in half
based on the number of parts he needs, then proceed with his accurate cuts
against the fence.

Or,

.... a roller stand to the left of the table to support the width of the
cutoff until it gets small enough not to want to tip off the saw table.

Tipping is liable to cause a good deal of harm to the edge of his cutoff,
but unlikely to kick back, IME.

... more likely it will just provide an opportunity for an unscheduled
change of under drawers.
