Are you wanting to extend the existing 2 disk array to be an
8 disk array or are you adding a 2nd 6-disk array?

I think both can be supported, though the second option is
quite a bit simpler, I've done this myself tons of times though
using fiber channel or iSCSI, which uses the same SCSI protocol
as far as the OS is concerned.
