The pattern appears to be a mix of multiplication: 8x1=8, 8x2=16, 16x3=48. Then it resets. 16x1=16 (error in PDF, should be 16), 16x2=32, 32x2=64. The pattern is inconsistent. Let's try another way: 8, 8, 16, 48, 16... The numbers are powers of 2 with multipliers. The sequence seems flawed. If we assume the second part is 16, 32, 64, then the next term would be 128 (multiplying by 2).
