Which configuration Is Better ?
VS
2) 1 linode 512 hosting 4 wordpress blogs, 1 linode 512 for email server AND 1 512 linode sql server having all wordpress and email dbs.
I am typing this from a mobile device so excuse any formatting.
Thanks for any help.

Spreading tiny VPS's across several machines for such a tiny load isn't worth the admin hassle.
But wouldn't it be nice to keep sql on a separate linode for both mail and wordpress ? Will performance improve or degrade ?

Why? The DB Engine will still be RAM bound by the limit of the VPS.
All you've done is double your admin tasks. Double your single point of failures. Made all DB transactions flow thru the internal LAN (so now besides being RAM bound, they're also network bound).
You've added all types of complexity for zero payback.

Makes a lot of sense. Thanks for the guidance
