an easy way to configure it to use 4 spaces instead?

I can't imagine it has its own tab width. d-mode is based on cc-mode. 
Setting the tab width in that mode or in general should work for d-mode 
as well.

Just research tab width for Emacs. If nothing else works and you're 
happy with a global tab-width of 4, add this to your .emacs file:

(setq-default tab-width 4)

Thank you, but tried this and it didn't work. Aravinda's solution 
worked though.

Add below snippet to your .emacs file

(add-hook 'd-mode-hook
           (lambda ()
             (setq c-basic-offset 4)
             (setq tab-width 4)))

That did it! Thanks, Aravinda!
