You should be able to use just one cable, I did for my 770 which was a 6 pin and a 6+2 pin, which was fine.

What Powersupply are you using?

 

But yeah, just put the 6+2's together to make the 8 pin connectors. You can use just the one cable, but to be safe I would use two separate 8-pin cables so you're not pulling too much current through the one or just the single rail on the PSU if there's only one.

It depends on your psu and how the rails are set up.
