Where do you read these things?

The number of disks in a zvol can be optimized, depending on
your desired redundancy method, total number of drives, and
tolerance for reduced performance during resilvering. 

Multiple zvols together form a zpool. Filesystems are allocated from
a zpool.

8 is not a magic number.
