From Scotty's web site regarding 7 and 8 string tunings:
Jerry played the non pedal guitar and through his ever burning desire to find the perfect tuning for him, he experimented with many tunings before he eventually came up with the tuning that was to make him famous. The C6th tuning. Even then, he had to experiment with different versions of the tuning before he finally came up with the standard C6th tuning that we know today. It was finally tuned to E-C-A-G-E-C. As Jerry realized that he needed even more freedom with the tuning he added the 7th string and tuned it to A. He quickly seen a need to change that note to C# and even Bb, depending on chords needed on any given tune. Jerry uses the that same C6th 7th string tuning today. His guitar is a double neck with 7 strings on one neck and 8 strings on the other neck. The 8 string tunings he uses for various tunings. His adaptation in using the B11th for tunes like “Sand” and “How D’Ya Do” have become classics for the B11th tuning. Of course, Jerry played all the various tunings during his long and illustrious career. He used the tuning E9th to record the “Admirable Byrd” recording. A tuning not very well know at that time in his career. It was tuned to E-B-G#-F#-E-D-B-G#. The string spacing and the with the F# note inserted in the tuning gave him an easier advantage to do his 3 strings forward/reverse slant bar positions.
