"tremolo 8" means "repeat it 8 times".
        \repeat tremolo 6 {c16 e}
should do the trick.


(although now you run into a bug; see 
http://lilypond.org/stable/Documentation/user/out-www/lilypond/Tremolo-repeats.html
)

Try this instead:
        \repeat tremolo 4 {c16 e}
        \repeat tremolo 2 {c16 e}

Do a similar thing for this line.
