Managed to figure out the 8 handed siteswap for the extended mildness madness N and the madness box. The pattern is easier in a rectangle shape than a box shape.

Madness Box (The jugglers are swapped in the animation so it has a lot of collisions)

In this pattern the weavers are in a 9 count and the feeder is in a 3 count. The weavers are walking in a figure 8 always facing the feeder. Either the feeder or the weavers need to throw crossing throws. In this version the feeder is crossing (similar to 7 club three count in 2 person passing). All passes are in doubles to add the extra club.

In this pattern there is a feeder and 4 movers. The movers are walking in circles around each other in pairs. The feeder is throwing to alternating feeders in a four count. The movers are passing in a four count, six count and then six count. The movers move on the six counts and pass between the six counts to the feeder. The extra club has been added by making all passes two and from the feeder doubles.

Twister plus is a 5 person juggling pattern. The jugglers in the middle are walking in a figure 8 and pass in a six count to the feeders on the outside. The weavers have to turn to face the feeders. The “plus” is an extra club that the feeders are juggling in triples over the weaver’s heads. The weavers are passing in a two count alternating with singles to the weavers and triples to the other feeder.

Mangled squirrel is a two extra club rotating feed pattern. The base pattern is a W where the three feeders are in two count and then ends are in a four count. In this pattern the feeders change quickly by moving to the other side of the pattern. The mantra we use to track individual juggling is triple, two, one, two. You walk in a four count to the other side and throw a triple the the person farthest on your left. Then in two count you feed two double passes to the next person to the right, one double to the person on their right and then two doubles to the person on their right. You then walk across the pattern in a four count and repeat with a triple again.
