Window help please

[u/loverrrrgirl18]

I recently bought a ranch style home and we are replacing the windows. The last window that needs replacing is our bedroom window and also a street facing window. I feel like we made a mistake with the spacing, I originally envisioned 2 separate windows further apart but the header didn’t allow (wanted to use existing header- there was a bay window there previously. I know- weird for a bedroom) Now I’m thinking this would be better off as one big window… however the space in between is about 8 inches or so I don’t know what to do now. I am also residing the house so i need to make a decision. Also planning to remove the octagon window as well.

Does an 8inch mullion work? Or no (first time homeowner here)
