Hello,
I have the following model where I have 8 processors with the same process time, setup time, and everything. Would it be possible to achieve the same by just using one processor? In other words, to have only one processor in the model but make it work as if there were 8, and the same with the combiners.

The combiner manages entry via port 1 independently of the MaxContent property, so setting that has no effect, and when you have a value greater than 1 on a processor the use of operators while processing is not supported.
For processors and combiners you can use a parameter table entry to set the number you have in the model (at reset) and control their positioning.
you find in a properties of processor an edit field for maximum capacity. You can set field value to 8.
A combiner has got the same property
