You need to arrange the data into groups that break after every 8 records (see some examples of data grouping here).

Then, create a detail band containing the textfield with data. Create a second detail band containing a line element. For this second detail band use a print when expression in the form:

$V{myGroup_COUNT} == 2 || $V{myGroup_COUNT} == 3 || $V{myGroup_COUNT} == 5 || $V{myGroup_COUNT} == 8[/code]

where 'myGroup' is the group name.
