Nope, adat is 8 channels only (per cable), even half-ed when used with 96kHz. 
But because of the firewire stack and/or the world-clock you can sync two 
firewire devices to act as one big sample synced device.

So for your requisites you would probably need two to three saffires and some 
optional adat-converters[*]. Sounds sexy but rather pricey.

My handful of synths all connect with jack by default. :-P

Have fun,
