If the base of the post is ok...you can splice in a top section by cutting out half the 4x4 and screwing them together.
(At least a foot overlap of the adjoining 2x4 imo layman opinion)
It may look odd if the cuts and stain are not precise but it will work and be stable. Cheap fix here.
Then protect the new top with oil stain and a cap while it dries out.
The ends of the grain are most vulnerable to water.
