Energy modeling software usually follows the logic when you show functionally different parts, not physically different. If your terminals are connected to the same system and follows the same control - they are functionally the same, no need to model 8 of them. If you want to model a situation when your terminal devices follow different control or are connected to different systems - then you do it as usual (not sure OS will allow you, but original E+, Design Builder and Simergy will allow you). Assigning huge areas to one thermal zone may be incorrect from reality point of view. Different parts of the same air volume will have different temperatures at the same time, and you probably want to design your engineering systems to cope with this.
