Clearly not, since 4x8 => 32.
I'm not sure if a single RAID-0 volume would work, but it is a very bad idea. If one of your disks failed, you'd lose all 32 TB of data, and you'd need to restore everything.
A much better approach (which will work) is to create 4 volumes of 8 TB each (one per disk). You then need to balance the storage across 4 volumes manually (creating the shares you want on each disk). That is quite simple when you have volumes this large.

Not the best disks for a NAS. If you like Seagates, I suggest you get Ironwolf drives instead.
