while try accomplish formula results without array formulas¹, don't know way accomplish without one.
in e4 array formula¹:
=sum(index(f4:l4, 0, match(1,sign(len(f4:l4)),0)): index(f4:l4, 0, match(1,sign(len(f4:l4)),0)+d4-1)) fill down necessary. iferror functionality wrap around circumstanses # of days , available columns mismatched.
