Comment:

 You're doing it wrong.

 Query_posts unfortunately has the effect, that it runs AFTER the query has
 already been made, as a result, this means that the page will 404 before
 your template is even loaded as expected (The query before your
 query_posts only has 4 pages).

 You need to use a hook such as 'pre_get_posts' or you need to hook
 posts_request (i think that's it, not sure) and set the posts_per_page on
 a conditional -based on the current query-, not make a new query.

 Valid places for using query_posts: None. Seriously, Use a custom WP_Query
 instance inline in a page if you need to have another loop inside a loop,
 but don't replace the main loop using query_posts.
