Is this this only one? I know I won't get full bandwidth with each NVMe running at only x2 but it may be a necessity. I don't need a PLX chip since my board supports bifurcation so I'd rather not pay extra for it.

Even with bifurcation support you would need a PLX chip for 4 NVME drives on pcie x8. You would need to do 'x2/x2/x2/x2' bifurcation to run 4 NVME drives off a pcie x8 bus and, to my knowledge, that's not an option.
