"Eight is enough" is what most people would say in the UK; I tried to explain it (to myself) when the same text came up in Spanish, and the best I came up with is that we subconsciously think of the "eight objects" as a block. "Do you think sixteen lettuces is enough for the meal after the wedding?" "It 's far too many!"
