In the Kontakt player, in the box underneath the CPO Usage box is a happy face? cat? (it's so small I can't make out what it's suppose to be.) Click that and you can assign an input channel to the instrument you have selected. So, yes, you can have Finale write to Channels 9-16, the have your second instance of Kontakt point to channels 9-16 for their input. But, why bother? It's easier to keep track of everything if you just use 1-8, 17-24, in the first place.

I think (though again, I'm just playing with this myself) that the full version of Kontakt allows for 16 channels. In limiting it to 8 (for whatever reason), I suppose it was easier to let the player start every 16, where it usually does, and disable the top 8 rather than making it start every 8. Also, I think that this allows some compatibility between Finale GPO and full GPO -- if a file is set up for Finale it should play in full GPO no problem. But if the player used 1-8 and then 9-16 in Finale GPO, when you tried to load full GPO you'd be asking it to put channel 9 in the second player rather than in the first where full GPO expects it. Please note that I'm just experimenting myself. If these answers are wrong, I hope someone will correct me.
