For readability, I would write

F4 = { [[0,0;   \\ 0
         0,0],
        [1,0;   \\ 1
         0,1],
        [0,1;   \\ a
         1,1],
        [1,1;   \\ b
         1,0]] * Mod(1,2); }

or

F4 = { [[0,0; 0,0],  \\ 0
        [1,0; 0,1],  \\ 1
        [0,1; 1,1],  \\ a
        [1,1; 1,0]]  \\ b
        * Mod(1,2); }

or, in two steps, F4 = ... (over Z) then F4 *= Mod(1, 2). Etc.

Cheers,

    K.B.

P.S. The hackish recursive F4 = Mod(F4, 2) also works ... and is marginally
faster than multiplying by Mod(1, 2).
