Your lead will be twice your pitch, i.e. 8
You cut one thread then move your tool along Z by the pitch and cut the other.
If you are familiar with the chasing dial depending on the lead on the leadscrew on the machine you can cut both thread by taking the cuts at opposite points on the chasing dial; this splits the lead.
