Boolean Logic Or gates and Xor8Way

Can somebody clarifier both of them.

What is the difference between Or8Way and Or16?

Would it make sense to create a Xor8Way gate?

Thank you.

An OR gate is a component in digital logic, where the output goes high, if at least one of the inputs is set to high.

An XOR gate outputs a high, if an odd number of inputs is set to high.

The gate types mentioned in the question do not adhere to commonly used standards. I would expect the following meaning:

Or8Way   an OR gate with 8 inputs
Or16     an OR gate with 16 inputs
Xor8Way  an XOR gate with 8 inputs

Due to technological constraints, typical gates do not have more than four inputs. To create an OR gate with 8 or 16 inputs one could cascade smaller OR gates. An XOR8 can be built from two XOR4 and one XOR2.
