If the intent is LFO, it seems like it might be easier to do this with 
a microcontroller like a PIC or something.  You need to write some 
code but you gain flexibility and the electronics (basically the MCU 
and maybe a couple of serial DACs) will be less involved compared with 
a bunch of counters and associated logic.

And what you really want - have a few digits of 7 segment displays to 
show the selected phase separation and make it continuously variable 
in 1 degree steps.  Maybe have 8 outputs that are selectable - so you 
could choose 8 phases of one waveform or 2 sets (4 phases of two 
different waveforms) or 4 sets (2 phases of 4 waveforms) - something 
like that.
