As explained, you cannot construct E8 in memory in GAP, it is too large.
However what you sem to want is easy both theoretically and in pratice.
What you seem to want is the coset of the fixator of the first root which
brings it to alpha1+alpha2.

I guess the indexing of simple roots is different in Chevie and Sage since
in Chevie alpha1+alpha2 is not a root but alpha1+alpha3 is.
