As far as I know, 2d4 means 2 four sided dice (in AD&D you use a lot of dice, all of which are not the como 6 sided dice we all know, you can have 4, 6, 8 10, 20, etc sides, So, yes, by multiplying the two you get the max damaga, but, it´s not the same to have 2d4 as 1d8, remember the minimunm you can get on a dice is 1 so the range for 1d8 is 1-8 while on 2d4 the range is 2-8.

Hope this helps
