I have bought a new mainboard, an MSI B450 Gaming Pro Carbon, and to my surprise, it features 12 pins for the cpu power connection.
My power supply, a Pure Power 10 BN274 600 Watt, only features 2 x 4 pins connectors. Luckily, it has cable management, yet before I buy an extra 4- or 8-pin cable, I wonder:
Do I actually need to buy an extra cable to get the board up and running? Would the board run fine just with the 8 ports being plugged in? If so, which one should I chose?
The CPU in question for me is a Ryzen 2700X.

From experience, it suffices to install the 8 pin connector on the left.
The right 4-pin-connector is basically a redundancy that the CPU may
draw upon under extreme load most likely only relevant when you do extreme overclocking.
(The board manufacturers most likely also build in some more extra room in case the next CPU generation needs more power.)
So only connect the 2 ports on the left, and leave the right one empty. If your system won't boot or doesn't run stable, only then you should consider buying the extra cable or upgrading your PSU.

In my experience, if you're not supposed to use two power connectors simultaneously, the manufacturer makes this very explicit with a plastic cover and warnings.
