Is it possible to make another completely separate desktop in Ubuntu so that you can switch to it, for example, with the key combination Ctrl + Alt + F8 and back Ctrl + Alt + F7?

Switching by Ctrl + Alt + F8 is what you need not another desktop, but one more X.
Yes, that's possible.
Google about launching two x's (startx -- :1 and all that) or even about launching two DMs in order to log into each of them.

As of Ubuntu 13.04, multiple desktops are disabled by default - here's how to enable them back.
