Change filament in multiple tools at single layer change (XL5T)?

Hey all, I'm trying to do an 8-colour print. I've designed a model (only 4 layers thick) where I need to swap 3 colours from 3 of my tools at the start of layer 3. Seems PrusaSlicer will only allow one change tool/filament change per layer? My model is thin, so I can't do the changes on subsequent layers. I've also tried queueing up M600 T1, M600 T2 using the custom G-Code but that didn't work at all, print just continued through without any changes. 

Reading about this, seems I might need to trigger a pause/grab the tool I want to change mid-layer? Is this possible? Any other thoughts? 

 

Thanks in advance

Hi,

 

Maybe you could solve that with sequential Print. Here are some thread about one Extruder multi colour prints:
