The next tape Amanda expects to use is: a new tape.

Is there a way to make it use the existing 7 remaining tapes instead of
throwing a new tape at it? It's mostly a time thing for getting a new
tape, but it'd be nice to be able to go on with the next tape in the
cycle.

Change your tapecycle to match how many tapes you have.

And make sure tapecycle is still >= runspercycle * runtapes)
or you risk overwriting your last full.
