I looked in the owners manual and it only made a special note that the 4.7 had 16 plugs, does a Hemi also have 16?

TIA

Just FYI, all 3rd Gen and above HEMI engines have 2 spark plugs per cylinder. That's why there's 16.

Not just Rams I am pretty sure all modern day Hemi's have 16 plugs. Dodge has started doing it in other engines too.

06 4.7 Durango should only have 8 plugs, my 07 has 8, 2008 is when dodge changed the 4.7 to 16 plugs and upped the hp significantly.

What is the purpose of doubling the plug number to 16?

The 2nd plug is for emissions/efficency. It is fired after the combustion to ignite the unburned fuel.
