I believe the rule is an extra .5 per arm. So 4-handing a greatsword as a thri-kreen would be 2.5 strength. 3 handing would be 2.0.

I believe it's covered in Savage Species.

The weapon must be made for a certain number of hands, as well. A Thri-kreen wouldn't get any particular advantage from wielding a human's greatsword in all his hands.
