I have been looking for a simple diode array that would be the
equivalent of, say, (8) 1N914 switching diodes in a 16 pin package.
Through hole or surface mount, and under a buck. I have found a couple
that were in the $7.00US range and some crazy military spec things that
were in the $70US range, but that's it. This can't be that strange of
an item. Is it my Googling skills or is it just not being manufactured?

It's just not a commonly used item. What do you use them for?
Yes, we can pack 8 diodes in 16 pin dip. Can you buy 1k?

Would a common anode or common cathode package be suitable (e.g. for
multiplexer input range protection, then a small 7 segment display
might be usable :-).

In that case, TVS diodes are usually denser and cheaper
