Connecting a JBD BMS for 2p4s vs 8s, ok either way?

[ZeeMox]

So I'm building a 24 volt battery and it looks like the simplest way to do that is straight up 8s, but since these are 280ah cells, that makes for a very long battery. I've noticed 2p4s is used in a lot of videos and documentation. Looks great, but I'm wondering if this changes how I will connect my BMS, or if I can do so at all? I have the JBD 7s-20s 200amp Smart BMS from Docan.

You can have 2x rows of 4 cells each but still connected in series for 24v. 2P4S implies a 12v battery. Just connect the BMS for an 8cell string.
