Also the number 7 (an inverted v) is in the volvelles and the Voynich.
I don't know why only 8 and 4 are so repeated in the Voynich. Perhaps it is because fixing a zodiac sign (Cancer in this case, 8 and 4 represent the summer solstice) is enough to place the entire zodiac ring. But this is speculation.
The only real thing is that all of us are in the deepest darkness regarding the VM. And if we see a glyph that has the shape of an 8, we are somewhat closer to the truth if instead of thinking that it is the letter d, we think that it is simply... the number 8!
