I don't remember seeing 8-in-a-row in the Commercial Mate-N-Lok range for a
long time, but two-rows-of-4 still exists, as does most of the rest of the
range. If you can't find it on their website, try emailing them -- I did
that about a year ago for something, and got a very helpful response.
Unfortunately, I can't find the email so I can't just give you the
address, but I seem to remember it was easy to find from their search page.
