Dear Qazi, If you've got room to parallel two 4 or 5 mil traces, why not just stick with the single 8 mil trace. Really short sections of high impedance line (say less than 1/10 of the risetime in transit time) probably won't hurt too much considering that the source or load at the end has a lower impedance than you would want (at least at high frequencies.)
