its fine and intended that way. If you want, you can double check what kind of power the psu delivers on for VGA, but for something so "mainstream" like a single 980TI you'll be good to go

So I built my pc today BUT I'm not sure about the cable I use to supply my gpu with power. The cable has 1x8 Pin type 3 connector to plug it into the PSU and at the end it has 2x8 Pin connectors.

 

Here is a Graphical representation:

Will this work?

if the connectors fit, it will work. you usually want to use separate cables but it does not really matter unless you overclock. Cheers~

It will, but some people advise against pushing that much power through a single daisy chained cable especially if you overclock. I personally have to run two cables as each only has a 6+2 and a 6 pin and have had no problems.
