To be fair to Arqiva, it's not that simple by a long way. Radio 4 LW has some very odd programme distribution arrangements dating back to when it was an important part of civil defence arrangements, and that is likely to be where the problems are arising rather than inside the transmitter site. It's understandable that the BBC don't want to expend money and management time on what they see as a legacy technology that they'd prefer to close down.
All that said though, the present position is not sustainable. It's just downright unprofessional. It would be better to take the R4LW internet or satellite stream, Optimod it and then shove it straight into the transmitter.
