Hi Malin Susanne Sundin,
First of all, a warm welcome to CodeRanch!

If you took (and passed) OCAJP7, you must take OCPJP
7 to be granted the
Oracle Certified Professional, Java SE 7 Programmer title. You can take the OCPJP8, but if you pass this certification exam, you will
not be granted the
Oracle Certified Professional, Java SE 8 Programmer title because you didn't complete the Prior Certification Requirement (i.e. Oracle Certified Associate, Java SE 8 Programmer).
Bottom line: you can
not combine different version certifications.
Hope it helps!
Kind regards,
Roel
