how can I specify that I want a boxplot of values for class 1 in one box and 
class 2 and 4 together in another box, without showing class 3?


I hope that's a data frame, not a matrix.
Let's call it dat.

Form an appropriate factor variable, e.g.

 dat$grp <- factor(dat$Class)
 levels(dat$grp) <- list(a=1, b=c(2,4))
 boxplot(Value~grp, data=dat)

I trust that your real data is more extensive; boxplots
for groups of size 7 are not greatly informative.
Consider stripchart().

Thanks in advance
