I think you could do a T1000 for 8 players and color up the T5s as desired with a set of 220 chips:

80 x T5
80 x T25
60 x T100

Use starting stack of 10-10-7 for T1000. Your blind schedule or any other that starts 5/10 would do fine.

That leaves 4 extra T100 chips which can be used to do a trickle-down color-up of all the T5 chips. (That is, use the T100s to buy T25s as needed to buy off the T5s.) You could do that after your 40/80 level, say.

It might be cumbersome to play an entire tourney with all the T5s in play, esp. at later levels when you need to handle all-ins.

You could also throw in 20 more chips of T500 value if you wanted the ability to have a rebuy, if you are able to accommodate a set of 240 chips.
