first of all, you should say "among", since there are more than 2 things here. just thought i should throw that out there.

#4 is just plain totally wrong. you can't say "the more than the...", even if nothing is in front of it.

A LITTLE BACKGROUND:

* if you say "the more than X people/items...", that is NOT an inequality. it actually refers to the EXACT number of people/items, but the point is that the writer just doesn't want to go to the effort of stating the exact number (so as not to be pedantic).
for instance, the population of florida, according to the u.s. census, is 18,328,340.
obviously, unless i'm trying to be particularly obnoxious or emphatic, there is no reason for me to cite this exact figure, so instead i'll say something like "70% of the more than 18 million residents of florida live in coastal cities."

in other words, think of this as the same as "the 5 apples on the table":
the + NUMBER + object
in this case, the NUMBER is "more than 18 million" instead of just "5".

* on the other hand, if you just say "more than X people/items...", then that's an inequality.
i.e., you are NOT referring to an exact quantity, but, rather, just saying that there are more than X number of people/items present somewhere.

given the information above, #2 and #3 don't make sense, since it is illogical to state an exact percentage (i.e., 99%) of an inexact figure (more than X).

#4, as stated above, is just plain awful.

therefore, #1 is the only one of these constructions that is allowable.
