The same way you've been doing... you just need to purchase more strings now...
If your looking for packs I know there's plenty as I've seen this thread a lot! I'm sure someone soon will kindly point you in the direction soon enough as I do not know where!
As for my 2 cents, I actually found with the 8 string pack I got once I didn't like the exact gauge and ended up making my guitar a custom gauge and ordering them by the string at www.[B]daddariostrings[/B].com
They offer gauges i think as low as .80? Which I got and ended up not even liking ha...Oh and sorry about the font...It just won't turn off after I linked you that...Ha
Hope I helped a little bit!
There are a bunch of threads about strings already.. they might be on page 2 right now. I got a pack of D'Addario EXL110-7 (seven strings, 10 to 59) and a single NW072 (also D'Addario). I ordered from JustStrings.com - Strings for guitar, bass, banjo, mandolin, fiddle and other musical instruments.

You might have to "build" your sets by buying singles or buy a sixer set and two extra strings.

yeah i build my own sets for my 7s and 8, just get a 6 set I like n add whichever singles I feel like
I buy a 10-46 elixir set +56 +68 (elixirs don't have any thicker than that, but considering my hate for D'addario I stick with that)
Some other brands have 8 string packs (labella, schecter, something else from rondomusic, daddario) but they all suck IMO

^ You could get some from Octave4plus.com
I hear most people get those for their extended scale and thicker gauges.
Well, it depends on what gauge you're after, I'd put an 80 at least on that low F#.

They are great strings, I just put one of his .070 strings for E1 at the 30" scale and it is very tight and sounds much clearer than the regular .070 that was on there.
He makes his strings out of stainless steel too so that will help with longevity since at this price point that a major plus, his sets are also balanced unlike a lot of major string manufacturers. So if you have the coin its well worth it

also, if you want to try another brand that makes 8-string packs, SIT strings just started doing that. never tried them, and i hear mixed reviews, but it cant hurt to try. well, it'll hurt the 8 bucks you lose from your wallet.
Roto Sound and SIT Power Wounds are great tremolo strings.

For the record, LaBella strings most certainly don't suck. I've been using them on my XL for awhile now, and they dominate. I'm not the biggest fan of D'addario, so I'll agree with you there. I hate getting stuck with D'addarios.
