In that case why don't create a cable with the resources and the time needed for 8? I don't see the point in having to make 8 with such poor handling options. Same goes for the packs of the other radios, the logs, etc. :|

It was suggested to have the 3, 5 and 8 option for creating copper wires, but RD was against this. I can't recall why. There are many different requirements for different electrocics, so maybe it would become a mess if every such need should have a project of its own.

This would only have eased manufacturing. The result would still have been 8 individual wires with all the associated problems.

We could of course get rid of the individual wires and replace them with just "wires". A radio would then need one piece of "low power radio wires" instead of so many individual wires. This would probably make the cheaper radios a bit more expensive though.
Pretty in pink.

Siendo que el tiempo es la medida por la cual tasamos las cosas en el juego, el beneficio general de esa solución compensa el ligero incremento en el costo de producción de las radios baratas.

In other words, I agree with your solution. :)
