"every other week" makes it tough for sure. Does the same go for recording?
8 hours over 5 (actual) weeks, only equals 1-1/2 hours per practice day - this is good, because if you are rehearsing/recording the same song over and over, it can get sloppy after multiple takes. I find that usually my 2nd or 3rd take is the best one, assuming I already 'know' the part.
So knowing that, it'd be good to take the first couple of practices for everyone to do all the songs a couple of times each, then the 3rd time you get together start the serious 1-song-at-a-time practice-then-record sessions.
