Because this is, in effect, a 9-patch block, it is hard to design it as an 8" overall finished block -- as 8 can't be easily divided by 3. It would work much better if you could use a 9" block instead and use your stated 3.5" cuts.
In this 9" case, I would make the star points @ 1 & 7/8" or a scant 2" square.
