It is not weird that you can see 8 channels when you use the Rode plugin : as plush2 has told you, you NEED a plugin to decode the 4 channels ambisonic file, even if you want to hear it only in stereo.
There is now a lot of excellent plugins that will decode your file to the 8 channels you want, such as the IEM or Ambix that are listed on this forum.
Also you don't need to use a special track for sends : just insert the plugin on you track (set to 8 channels), or on the Master and let Reaper send the sound from you track to the Master and to your hardware outputs...
