I did some googling earlier and it looks like it is really hard to turn 2x 4i into 1x 8i. There seem to be lots of 8i to 2x 4i, but not the other way around. The reason I saw on one forum was that combining two separate pcie connections together required some more advanced timing and switching chips that was not worth the cose or bot easy to develop. Im not an expert and im roighly paraphrasing what I remember from google so I could be totally off.

You can simply just say that the PCIe link is 8x and not bifurcate down to 4+4 and it will work fine, assuming you have the m.2 adapters in the correct order, since both halves of the link come from the same chip
