You can connect 4 * 24C1024s on on the same bus and therefore address 4M. The 1024s have 3 address lines which suggests that you can connect 8 - as you are no doubt aware this is not the case. Address line A2 has to be pulled high in order for them to work (microchips 1024s). You can therefore use A2 as a chip select pin and use 2 extra I/O lines to select between 2 banks of 4 1024s and achieve your 8 meg as required.
