  This is the fourth in a series of papers on the growth of regular partitions
in $3$-uniform hypergraphs. In this paper, we consider a form of regularity for
$3$-uniform hypergraphs which was developed by Frankl, Gowers, Kohayakawa,
Nagle, R\"{o}dl, Skokan, and Schacht. Regular decompositions of this type
involve two components, a partition on the vertex set and a partition on the
pairs of vertices. To each hereditary property $\mathcal{H}$ of $3$-uniform
hypergraphs, we associate two corresponding growth functions: $T_{\mathcal{H}}$
for the size of the vertex component, and $L_{\mathcal{H}}$ for the size of the
pairs component. In this paper we consider the behavior of the function
$L_{\mathcal{H}}$. We show any such function is either constant, bounded above
and below by a polynomial, or bounded below by an exponential.
