If I'm understanding your question correctly, then the answer is
probably no.

I'm assuming that what you mean is that the text reads "qu'il" or
"voulderoient"; that the correct readings (for example in a clear-text
reading edition) should be "qu'ilz" or "vouldroient"; and that a
critical edition would indicate the editorial changes being made using
the forms "qu'il[z]" and "vould(e)roient".

If that's the case, in P4 you should probably do something like this:

<sic id="s1" corresp="c1">qu'il</sic>
<corr id="c1" corresp="s1">qu'il<supplied>z</supplied></corr>

<sic id="s2" corresp="c2">voulderoient</sic>
<corr id="c2" corresp="s2">vould<del>e</del>roient</corr>

or

<sic corr="qu'ilz">qu'il</sic>
<corr sic="qu'il">qu'il<supplied>z</supplied></corr>

<sic corr="vouldroient">voulderoient</sic>
<corr sic="voulderoient">vould<del>e</del>roient</corr>

And rely on stylesheets to handle the appearance of the supplied and del
elements in different uses. Of the two versions, I think it is fair to
say that the second might be described as informally depreciated: there
are lots of problems with the use of text on attributes like this; in
P5, a new mechanism is coming to avoid the problem. There you will
ultimately be able to do something like this:

<choice>
<sic>qu'il</sic>
<corr>qu'il<supplied>z</supplied></corr>
</choice>

<choice>
<sic>voulderoient</sic>
<corr>vould<del>e</del>roient</corr>
</choice>
