Can you 8+ Link a specific skill gem across multiple pieces of gear?

TL;DR: Can you use 2+ pieces of gear, and 2+ of the same skill gem, to bypass a 6-Link and make the skill an 8+ link?


In example let's say I have two Boneshatter gems.
One is 6-Linked in my weapon with 5 support gems.
Another is 4-Linked in my gloves with 3 different support gems which aren't in my weapon.

Is Boneshatter then supported by 5 Support Gems, or by 8 support gems?

There is only 1 way to get more than 6 links.

Elder affixes like socketed gems are supported by xy.
You can increase that by using The Squire elegant round shield.
Im bad at math.

in this case, you will have 2 different boneshatter skills. one will be the 6 link, a different one will be a 4 link.

because each boneshatter gem is linked to different things, they are *NOT* the same gem.
