decode-dimms uses the kernel spd or ee1004 drivers to access the content
of the EEPROM, and only parses the content. If your SPD EEPROM are not
recognized by the kernel, nothing can be done on the i2c-tools side. I
am therefore reassigning the bug to the kernel and merging it with the
one you already opened there.

Just increasing the limit from 4 to 8 won't make things work. The reason
for the limit is that above 4 DIMMs, the EEPROM are usually placed
behind a I2C mux (probably the chip at address 0x44 on your system).
Support for that needs to be added to the kernel.
