Does it have to be
DPST
SPDT? If a simple on/off switch is sufficient, angled DIP switches are widely available. (But may also be a bit smaller than what you had in mind?)
Edit: Fixed the mixed-up switch designation...

I need an on on switch. A switch with two positions each position connects 1 pin to a different one.
Thanks

Switches like the one in the picture exist and should be easy to find, but an array of four may be impossible to find outside of custom made. What do you expect to gain with an array vs. four single switches side by side?

Price. The cheapest I found for a single switch was 65 cents us. The only switch I found at all this style was from

Apparently those vertical style switches are pretty expensive, $3-$4. You might consider using the cheaper type and mounting them on a small piece of pcb attached vertically to the main pcb. I have seen this done in commercial products with 7 segment displays.
Some ideas maybe here:
