There's no need to disallow crawling of 404 pages -- having URLs that return 404 is absolutely fine & normal. Having 404 errors on URLs that do not exist will not affect your site's overall crawling, indexing, or ranking (see Do 404's hurt my site?).
Also keep in mind that by disallowing crawling of URLs like this, it can result in them actually being ...

You can accompish this by editing the CSS styling of the block quote so there's no need to remove the quote block as this would be bad for SEO purposes.
Typical Example of a Scroll-bar within Block Quote:
blockquote {
width:600px;
max-height:150px;
overflow-y:scroll;
}
I made a online demo so you can take a look of it in action, here is ...

One issue with using URL removal on Google Webmaster is that the request per URL removed will expire. And when that happens, the Google Site URLs return on search results immediately. often with higher ranks than the www domain urls. You have to go back and re-request the removals frequently and it will take 2-4 hours for the status to go from "pending" to ...

This appears to be an issue for all Google Sites users who have mapped domains to the service - strikingly ironic that Google would not even include the capability to specify canonical links.

Simply put, Google Sites is meant to be a really simple and easy to use product with limited customization. It's not made for you to be able to make really powerful websites, it's made to give you an easy and quick website.
If you want to change it, there are options for yourself like a userstyle for ...
