Regarding spot instances

I have recently received a research grant which I'm planning on using to rent 8xV100 instances (or maybe 16xV100 too). My question is, how long do the spot instances last, specifically ND40rs v2 spot instances, as they are only $2.4/hr, which is great for my use case. My second question is, can I stack 16 such instances together for $38.4/hr? That would be very helpful if I can get such instances for say a day at a time.
