How about ripping the 4x8 sheets to match your beam spacing (eg 16") and
then using a 2x4 stringer every 8' to support the edges?  That's basically
what I've been doing, although I'm lucky enough to be able to get a 32" by
8' piece in (so I only need to rip each sheet once).

Even T&G is pretty weak for using without a subfloor IMO, unless you've gone
overboard on the floor thickness.
