Dear Roger,
DHIS2 identifies sequentially the different levels  but you are free to 
give them the name you want.  However it is better if you want to use 
numbers to identify your levels to do it incrementally. Because if you 
name level 5 as level 8, you will introduce some confusion for other 
administrators especially when it comes to execute some sql queries 
using orgunitstructure table with levels. I mean level 8  -as child of 
level 4 in your case -  will mean level 5 in dhis2 logic instead. The 
possibility given to users to rename the levels is meant to provide more 
meaningful level names like national, region, district, facility, etc.
Thanks

Edem
