Flexbox 2 column column

[mlasell]

I have been trying to create a page of uneven height divs lining up in a 2 column grid. I can wrap a flexbox container around every 2 so they are equal height, but I really need to wrap a flex container around 8 so they display:
<flex-container>
<flex-item>1</flex-item><flex-item>2</flex-item>
<flex-item>3</flex-item><flex-item>4</flex-item>
<flex-item>5</flex-item><flex-item>6</flex-item>
<flex-item>7</flex-item><flex-item>8</flex-item>
</flex-container
with all of the items having the same height.
Does flexbox support such a grid concept?

A demo in Codepen would be helpful plus some idea of what this is supposed to look like.

This is crude, but instead of crossing the page:
1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8,
I want it to display
1 2
3 4
5 6
7 8
still maintaining the height of #5 in each
