Taking your comment and running with it...this is pretty much
cheating, and requires that M be evenly divisible by N, and only works

This still doesn't make terribly much sense in terms of the distribution
you get.

The fencepost method still seems to be simplest:

t = sorted(random.sample(xrange(1,50), 4))
print [(j-i) for i,j in zip([0]+t, t+[50])]
.
