Somewhere in the fine print, you may find that the TOTAL length of the cable is something paltry like 600 feet. When you bridged 28 drops on the distribution, you probably just tapped out the length! Forcing your entire infrastructure to 1x8 modules pretty much doomed the project. As has been suggested, terminating the house cable on 66 blocks lets you pick and choose which drops are wired to you 16 phones, without all the bridging, and it also gets you to the quick upgrade path when they can afford something better.
Worst case, a Nortel CICS starts its life as a 4x16 system and the phones are about half the price of a 4-line consumer grade phone that you're trying to use. Add to that, it only needs a single RJ-11 jack to run the set. If you don't need CID, a Nortel 824 KSU is pennies on the dollar.
