Yes, you can have one shooter for each free throw shot for a technical foul.

The very rule you cited...8-3

Rule 8, Section 3 Attempting Technical-Foul Free Throws

The free throws awarded because of a technical foul may be attempted by any player of the offended team, including an eligible substitute or designated starter. The coach or captain shall designate the free thrower(s).

The bold part is my emphasis...the very rule says there can be more than one free thrower. Plus, there's no rule preventing this from happening.

Thank you

Has anyone ever seen this...Coach thinking to himself, "I think I'll put my second best free throw shooter in to take the first shot, if he misses I can always go to my number 1 guy."

Along with this discussion, Can a player come off the bench to attempt the technical free throws, and then be replaced by another sub before the following throw in? (with no time running off the clock)

Yes, as long as both subs are eligible to enter (e.g., didn't leave the game during the same clock stoppage).

There's a case play on this (although I think it deals with "regular" FTs and not Tech FTs)

Must sit a tick, don’t have to play a tick.

(With rare exceptions when down to five eligible players)

No problem!

Incidently enough, I've never seen a coach take "advantage" of the rule allowing the free throws to be split. I have, however, had partners/coaches try and insist only a player in the game at the time of the T can shoot the free throws...they'd be right if we were working games where the league minimum is around $500,000.

Many NCAA players play for less than that.
