Yes, an 8-bit card can work in a 16-bit ISA slot.  I remember doing that a couple times.  I even seem to remember some 16-bit ISA cards still having some limited functionality when plugged into an 8-bit ISA slot.

Later, VESA local bus came out, which was a 16-bit ISA slot with another slot behind it, and I don't think you had to fill all of that either.
