Hi, yes it's fine to use the 8pin p2 with the 8pin cpu_pwr1. You don't necessarily need both cpu_pwr1 and cpu_pwr2 unless your system requires them for stability or performance. Just make sure the connections match what your motherboard expects.
It's fine to leave part of the connector empty when 8+4 is connected to 8+8, as long as the 8-pin plug isn't a PCIe device.
