Here is my try:
B8=1
C8=1 (why complicate things?)
D8=IF(B8=C8;C8+1;C8)
Fill D8 to R8.
Select Q8:R8, drag them to B9:C9. These cells will then be the first
two cells on the next row.
Fill D8:P8 to D9:P9 to complete the row.
Now you have a complete row (B9:P9) that you can fill down as far as you want.

Here is my version of your file:
