Usually x4 should be enough. If you want a raid0 for your M.2 do that, but don't all you may see for hashcat is slightly improved startup time.
Additional lanes will only speed up initialisation in all but one case: piping with no work multiplier (ie rules). In that case, depending on the speed of your candidate processor of course, your speed may depend on PCIe bandwidth. I'm not aware of any benchmarks for this.
