Is it allowed to put 2XAA in parallel with again 2xAA in parallel ? Looking forward to replies! If more info needed let me know .

Do you have room for two C batteries, which have about 3 times the capacity of an AA?

(*) This means always replace both batteries simultaneously with same brand, brand-new, fresh batteries. But I also second Crutschow's suggestion: utilize a larger battery.
