I accidently gave my child 4 200mg tabs of ibuprofen he weighs 100lbs will he be ok?

Probably: As a one time thing this should not be much of a problem.Stomach irritation would be expected but would be temporary. I would never suggest more than half that dose at that size, with 600 mg being the adult dose.Longer term use may result in stomach and kidney injury.
