I want to create a map in which there is an 8 player game mode and a 4 player game mode. Is there a way to set it up so that I can do a Game Variant where there are 8 spots in the lobby as well as a variant where there are 4 spots in the lobby?
The only other thing I can think of is running a Trigger in game in which checks if there are 4 or less players and prompting the players for a 4 player option, but I'd prefer to do it on the lobby level.
There is a great tutorial in the tutorial section about how to setup game modes like what you're looking to do. Check it out in the resource subforum's tutorial section under tutorial listing's beginners section for the complete guide to lobby and game modes. Its a great tutorial that I highly recommend looking at along with many of the other great tutorials listed there in the tutorial section. It was also the first hit when I did a search for 'game mode' up in the search box which I always tend to use before posting new threads with questions to see if someone's already answered it. :)

Tutorial.
Already looked over that tutorial before posting this question. Didn't give me information about the specific thing I am looking to do unless I missed something.
If you repeat the section "Creating a ‘one mode’ map." with a differently named variant and different attribute settings you have accomplished your goal.

You did miss something. I'd explain here but the tutorial says it far better than I could. In short, make 2 game variants, one of which has 8 slots, the other has 8 slots with 4 closed.

Oh I see. It's under Player Controller in Game Variants. The Tutorial said to go to Map -> Properties to setup players (I assumed that meant "Player Properties" as just "Properties" is not an option). Under that area, there is no way to specify player controllers by Variant, only for the whole map. That's why I was getting so confused. The tutorial sent me in the wrong direction, which is why I asked the question here (and kept getting the run-around). I didn't see the Player Controller Attribute under the Game Variant section.

That makes more sense now. Thanks.
Thanks siege911! You solved my problem as well. Didn't even notice the Player controller part at the bottom there.
