Yes, but your chances of mis-measurement grow significantly.
With 2 cups to measure, with a 2 cup measuring cup, you can only screw up that last 1/4 of a cup by a small amount whereas taking 8 1/4 cups, you have 8 chances now to be slightly off and being off in baking with your measurements usually means the recipe is screwed.  Baking is not that forgiving.
This is a friendly reminder to read our rules.
