I think SPE's were developed around 20" wide pads 6 ft long. What you can do depends on your body but there is room to play. With a 4x8 ft pad to start with I would be inclined to try some taper so each of you gets a wider shoulder and narrower foot. You might want to lay in the hammock with the pad off center and see how wide you really want the top by your shoulders. Have somebody use a marker to set pad size and take a look. With 8 ft to work with you have room to widen the shoulders past 24 in and still keep ample foot room after you shorten the pad to your length.
