I've read that when using an 8' ground rod , the rods should be separated by
2X the length of the rods or 16'. However unless I missed it I haven't seen
a distance mentioned for the first rods from the base.

If the tower base is a Ufer ground, 8-16 ft is a good spacing for the first rods. If the base is not Ufer, I'd go for 8 ft. Either way, one to each leg.
