You can select more than one pair of mics at a time, and then it would record on a group of tracks. The group of tracks could either be Stereo or Mono. If you want the tracks to be mono, then set the input channel for mono tracks in the Audio Preferences to L+R, and make sure the current track is set to Mono. Here's an example (attached image) of recording on 4 mono tracks (although I recorded silence). You could record on two stereo tracks instead of the 4 mono tracks on this example. (the interface I'm using right now has half the ports as yours)

If you have an interface that has 8 ports total, you could select 4 pairs in the audio drivers dialog, and could record on a group of either 4 stereo tracks or 8 mono tracks.
