A picture would help, but no matter how many poles there are there should be two bobbins. Just fill them up with wire, preferably with the same number of turns in each.
If there are 8 separately wound poles then they need to be series-connected in the right way. I can't explain that w/o a picture.
Never mind the dual-filament winding. It's probably done just to get the center connection (look at my link above).
