Is it possible to purchase two, two packs and use one of the devices as the router and other three as satellites?

Yes, each device is the same hardware. One you configure as the router, and the additional units as nodes (satellites).

How many satélites are supported?

Based on what I’ve read I have seen 6 to 9 nodes including the primary node. However, it seems ASUS recommends no more than 5 including the primary without degrading throughput. Note that the XT8 allows for Ethernet backhaul. This is where you connect a satellite node back to the primary using an Ethernet cable. Doing so avoids using any Wi-Fi radio traffic for the backhaul. So better performance. Hope this helps.

can i use asus rog rapture wifi 6e (gt-axe16000) as main router with asus zenwifi whole-home tri-band mesh wifi 6e system (et8 2pk) wired backhaul ?

Although I have not set up this exact set up. I believe they are comparable and use the same app to control and monitor. As long as they are wired. I do not believe they will connect wirelessly.

can you name your ssid with space between two words on this device?

Although I don’t use them my understanding is that special characters are allowed in ssid’s. That includes spaces and capital letters versus lower case letters. So, in short, yes you should be able to use spaces. Also, you can just try it out and see if it works.
