You should be able to use more than 8 VCPU's in one guest - however, you
can't use more VCPU's at any given time than the number of physical
cores in the machine, so to run more than 8 VCPU's at once, you need
something like a 
4-socket machine with quad-core processors or 8-socket machine with dual
core processors (or 16 socket machine with single core processors)
[assuming we take the standard 2^n processor configurations - of course
there are several permutations of odd-number sockets that would also
allow more than 8 VCPU's]. 

Note that also some OS's have limits of how many CPU's they allow in any
particular distribution/configuration, so this may also limit the number
of CPU's actively working.
