Young chameleons will usually shed in 1 go, older chameleons may take days for a full shed....
Maybe you should up his humidity by misting more often and for longer periods of time, also leave him in the enclosure more where it's nice and humid instead of letting him out.
You can also give him a shower by putting him in the shower on a large plant (i think you have that) and aim the shower at the wall so water splashes off onto the plant. Leave him there for 30-45 minutes (supervised), water should be hand warm.

Yep, as stated, I would try some extra misting for a bit. At 4 months my guy would have been done in less than one day with a shed. It wasn't until probably 8 months or so that he started the "I'm going to be shedding a bit at all times so you will never get another good picture of me" phase.
