Hi
The total space of
CREATE INDEX IX_1
ON 123 (A)
INCLUDE (B,C,D)
and
CREATE INDEX IX_2
ON 123 (A)
INCLUDE (E,F,G,H)
will take more space than
CREATE INDEX IX_1
ON 123 (A)
INCLUDE (B,C,D,E,F,G,H)
The selectivity of each index is same. You don't need two indexes in this case.
My suggestion is to go with the second option, i.e. the index covering all columns (B,C,D,E,F,G,H).

Igor
