To make progress in Gold-Bronze Elo you pretty much like have to know two roles well (read: better than the gold level) and other roles should be playable to you but perhaps not the ones you would pick above all. Two roles would be like Jungle/Top/Mid/ADC and Support (because in low Elo you often don't have support mains because people don't realise what a difference good support makes)

Don't fully agree here. To progress you essentially need to no-life one role with one role to fall back on, but you certainly don't need to play the secondary role at a better-than-average level (I don't have a secondary role, when I can't get my main role I just play whatever is required). As long as your game sense is above average you can still win.
Personally, I main support but pretty frequently I'm forced into other roles, which I just play with a "don't feed the enemy and get carried" mentality as I know I suck on them. Since I perform well consistently on support I'm fine going even and not attempting to carry hard in my other games.
I play ADC and support almost equally well. I can do average jungle, little bit lower than average top. I'm garbage in the mid lane. I'd say it's preferable to have two roles in which you can try to win lane. In other roles, you should just try to stay even or at least try to not get destroyed.

I can play jungle and support best, my top is decent to well (relatively to Silver I) and my mid lane and marksman just suck. I don't even think I have a decent mid laner I can play, only Katarina basically.
Katarina basically.
********'s a pretty good fertilizer
I main support and my secondary is jungle again, I suppose, now that a lot of the champions I jungled quite frequently in the past are much more playable (and I've picked up some other champions as well). I can play ADC tolerably well if I have to, but I'm pretty **** at the solo lanes unless I play a few select champions I spent a lot of time practicing in the past ( Orianna and a couple others, basically).
Orianna and a couple others, basically).
I'm absolutely terrible at my secondary since the jungle changes. Like, I literally hate the new jungle now and I hate the fact that I get really funnelled into playing a very limited jungle roster.

I am a Jungle and support Silver 4 main, and i want to know how good every players should be in the roles they don't main ?
If i want to train myself in a normal with friends, should i play jungle or should i go into other roles in depth ?
To progress should i master two roles and just know the basics of the others, or should i be good in everyrole ?
