This approach can be useful in some applications ofcourse, but theoretically
you don't gain more information bandwith. This is because you will be able
to sense only one of eight virtual sensors at a given time. So you loose the
ability to sense multiple sensors at the same time independently.

Unless you add a bit of electronics to multiplex your sensors, use the existing three digital inputs as a mini parallel port, design a simple communications protocol and send the sensor statuses from the module to the RCX using the protocol.
