Some library questions

In 5.99 this is possible with one subsheet file, 8 instances and sheet variables. See New string replacement options for kicad assets - #42 by eelik.

For the layout you would need the Replicate Layout plugin, Replicate layout: Action plugin, but unfortunately it doesn’t work with 5.99, only with 5.1 AFAIK (@MitjaN can give details about that).

Are you going to print it to paper? If not, you could as well choose A3 or something similarly large page layout and fit more into one page. And even then it may be possible to print to A4 or Letter. But as was said, using hierarchical sheets may be a good solution because it makes you to split the schematic into functional parts and may enhance readability.
