Not a fair assumption. The states at the gamma point of an 8-atom cell are 
equivalent to the union of the states at the Gamma and the three X points of a 
2-atom cell. It has to be so, because the number of states at each k point must 
be proportional to the number of atom in the unit cell (by the way, this why 
the so-called "density of states” is actually a DOS per unit volume …).

Hope this helps
