"two couplets of 4 characters each"?
Does that make sense?

couplet n.
1. A unit of verse consisting of two successive lines, usually rhyming and having the same meter and often forming a complete thought or syntactic unit.
2. Two similar things; a pair.

I don't think we need to say "set expression" twice.
