The way to change the beaming behaviour in LilyPond is described at:
https://lilypond.org/doc/v2.25/Documentation/notation/setting-automatic-beam-behavior
For the case of quavers in 4/4 time, Gould starts with the grouping used in the
LilyPond default, but also suggests (page 154) situations where changing
locally to the pattern you want is appropriate.

Oops!
Here is the MWE:
\version "2.25.18"
\fixed c' {
\time 4/4
c8 8 8 8 r8 8 8 8 c8 8 8 r8 8 8 8 8 \break
c8 8 8 8 r8 8 8[ 8] c8[ 8] 8 r8 8 8 8 8
}
