Here's my experiment. The eight ST-5's fit *very* tightly around the ST-8, so it looks like I'll have to use the standard Groove Tube "glue by pairs" technique, not to mention securing them with an elastic shock cord while they dry. A 1" long launch lug will fit nicely between the ST-20 and a "notch" between two ST-5's.
