i know they say 8, but i have noticed that 6 is actually your highest sp per kill. when you go to 8 the sp per kill drops drastically. i know the extra 2 people do make kills faster, but there's not many places in which you have enough mobs with fast enough spawn time to make sp an hr worthwhile for a party of 8. personally i enjoy the larger 15 man parties because i am in a big ls and it's easy to get 15 and hate telling people they can't join because it'll hurt our sp. there is just not enough mobs in game that will benefit a bigger party so i do understand them wishing to drop the max party size.
