Sorry, but Vol 8 is definitely linear. While it is true that many of the various incidents could be taken out of their narrative context and spread out across the series with little loss of individual humorous effect, within the LN text they are clearly presented in a given chronological order.

You may mean that the two intersecting story arcs are separate chronologies, the Carne Village one taking several days and the Nazarick one detailing only one of those days.
