The answer to your question might well depend upon whether you're limiting acceptable statistics to those from the Premier League or from English (or UK) professional football in general or accepting figures from lower English leagues or world football as a whole.
If you spread your net wide enough there have been some single games where the keeper let in far more than 20 goals. In the Scottish Cup, for example, Arbroath beat Bon Accord 36-0 in 1885. In Malagasy, AS Adema beat SO l'Emyrne 149-0 in the National Champoinship 2002 (although SO l'Emyrne were deliberately scoring own goals during that match, as a protest against a refereeing decision in an earlier match, so perhaps it would be unfair to count that game).

I suspect that within the lower leagues of football (especially local ones comprised mainly of pub teams, etc) there will have been many such occurrences.
When I was refereeing in those leagues (as well as in more senior leagues) back the 1980s, it wasn't particularly unusual for a goalkeeper to let in 7 or 8 goals in a match (and sometimes more), so a total of 20 in 4 consecutive games could easily be possible.
Indeed, I remember that one team who were champions of their local league conceded a minimum of 3 goals in all but one match that they played during that season, so you can imagine how many goals the teams towards the bottom of that league must have let in!
