I think it should actually turn out like this:

map = repeat(repeat(repeat(repeat({0, 0, 0}, -- x-y position and flag
      8),              -- 8 columns of the sector
      8),              -- 8 rows of 8 columns of the sector
      8),              -- 8 sectors in a row (columns) to one grid position
      8)               -- 8 rows of 8 sectors to form grid

-- Reference a point by:
  map[grid_row][grid_column][sector_row][sector_column][(x, y, or flag)]
  Eg:
    map[4][6][2][5][1] = 3 -- x-coordinate of sector at pos (2, 5) of grid 
at pos. (4, 6)

I hope that didn't confuse you. (or me!)
Try looking at the Language War demo that comes wth Euphoria.
