I imagine your existing deck has 2X8 frameing under the decking and I think the 2 foot canterlevered over hang would not be a problem.
I would use 8 foot long stock for this new floor joist and Bolt, not nail, each one no fewer then 4 times useing 5/8 or larger, Galvanized bolts & nuts with large washers.
