Simply omit the fourth "column" from the CSV file. Something like this:
SQL> desc test
 Name                                      Null?    Type
 ----------------------------------------- -------- ----------------------------
 ID                                                 NUMBER
 COL                                                VARCHAR2(20)
 NUMB                                               NUMBER

Control file:
load data
infile *
replace

into table test
fields terminated by ';' 
optionally enclosed by '"'
 (id,
  col,
  numb
 ) 

begindata
1234;"hogit";78887;89
4567;"rtef";12565;89

Loading and the result:
SQL> $sqlldr scott/Tiger@ora10 control=test3.ctl log=test3.log

Well the simplest solution would probably be to fix this at source - i.e. get the csv regenerated without the extra ;
Failing that I'd use an external table instead of sqlloader.
Define the external table with 4 columns. Then concatenate columns 3 and 4 to get the result you want.

Would this work in your control file:
.
.
.
col3 ":col3 || :col4",
.
.
.

In addition to what joy_division posted, you will need to use BOUNDFILLER and TRAILING NULLCOLS, as demonstrated below.

-- test.ctl:
load data
infile *
replace
into table test
fields terminated by ';'
optionally enclosed by '"'
TRAILING NULLCOLS
(col1,
col2,
col3 ":col3 || :col4",
col4 BOUNDFILLER)
begindata
1234;"hogit";78887;89
4567;"rtef";12565;89


-- table, load, and results:
SCOTT@orcl_11g> CREATE TABLE test
  2    (col1  NUMBER,
  3  	col2  VARCHAR2(15),
  4  	col3  VARCHAR2(15))
  5  /

Table created.

SCOTT@orcl_11g> $sqlldr scott/tiger control=test.ctl log=test.log

SCOTT@orcl_11g> select * from test
  2  /

      COL1 COL2            COL3
---------- --------------- ---------------
      1234 hogit           7888789
      4567 rtef            1256589

SCOTT@orcl_11g>
