There's only 8 pitches fed to each pedal. They are mixed in pairs
onto 4 pedal busbars, two contacts per pedal, and then fed to a
resistor network attached to the back of the upper manual which
mixes the tones from the different busbars to get the 16' and 8'
composite sounds.

The 16' pitch has an inductive 1st order low pass filter in it to
remove some of the harmonics from the complex wheels

The VK-8 models this. In the VK-7, I don't think they put the
filter in, but I remember playing a VK-77 thinking that the pedals
sounded much richer, so I guess the VK-8 since it uses the VK-77
sound engine is going to sound very much like a -3 series pedal.
