Honestly, I don't know. The issue isn't just the root directory, it is the amount directory entries taken by the files and directory names. This isn't just the number of files or directories, but also the long names. You can fit more short names in. Using long names reduces then number that can be in the directory.
I wouldn't put 8000 directories or files in a single directory. In one way it doesn't matter as long as the device can handle it, but, if I need to look, there would be to many things in the directory. Someone here uses the first character or two of the authors last name for a directory and puts each author inside that. That would be something like:
Code:
Books/{author_sort:substr(0,2)}/{author_sort}/{title} - {authors}
