A MUX is nothing more than an electronic switch that routes several inputs to one (or sometimes more) outputs. Why can you not take the outputs from several MUXs and route these to the input of another MUX to select one of those outputs? This is really not an 'electronics' problem. It is just one of logic (logic as in 'being logical' not 'digital logic'). I am also puzzled as to what a 3x8 MUX does. I have never seen one of those before...
