Should be possible using tar or dd, but if the N800 won't clone to the 8GB card it suggests there is something fundamentally wrong with the card which won't be fixed by cloning on the Linux machine... you should be able to clone to the 8GB card - if you can't I seriously doubt you'll be able to boot from it until the N800s dislike for the card is resolved.
