No, the hardware is one eight-channel device.
AFAIK there is no supported PCIe card with independent devices.

You could create virtual software devices by putting something like this
into /etc/asound.conf:

pcm_slave.eightchannels {
        pcm "hw:0"
        channels 8
        rate 48000
        buffer_size 4096  # make these sizes smaller for lower latency
        period_size 2048
}

pcm.ch12 {
        type dmix
        ipc_key 47110815
        slave eightchannels
        bindings [ 0 1 ]
}

pcm.ch34 {
        type dmix
        ipc_key 47110815
        slave eightchannels
        bindings [ 2 3 ]
}
# ...
