Well, gee, I think that would be 2 bags. But if you have found a bag that is 2 cubic yards, that is ONE HUGE BAG...Enough to fill the back of a pick-up truck. I think you better look into your phrasing, one cubic yard of mulch will cover 100 square feet, or an area that is 10' x 10'.
IMPROVED ANSWER: I think you mean that 1 bag of mulch will cover 2 cubic feet. That's the standard bag sold at Lowes & Home Depot. 1 cubic yard = 27 cubic feet (3'x3'x3'=27). Therefore 4 cubic yards is equal to 108 cubic feet. You would need 54 bags (108/2=54).

If you want to cover an area in mulch 5 ft x 5 ft and you want it 2 in thick how many cubic feet of mulch will you need?
5' x 5' = 25 ft2, at 2" thick that would be 1/6 of a foot,
therefore 25/6 = 4 1/6 cubic feet.
I would recommend laying mulch at least 3", if not 4" thick to
keep the aggressive weeds down.
Rule of Thumb for Mulch:
1 cubic yard contains 27 cubic feet, and
covers a 10' x 10' area to a depth of 3", so 1/2 of
that, 13-14 cubic feet would cover your 25 ft2 area to a
depth of 3"...
