That won't work: the C-x @ c thingy works in function-key-map,
i.e. before almost all keymaps.
Furthermore, (define-key function-key-map [f8] "\C-c\C-x@c") won't work
either because the output of function-key-map is not fed back to
function-key-map.
And I can't think of any map that applies before function-key-map and
that can do such mapping.

But you can do:

   (defun C-cC- (prompt)
     (vconcat "\C-c" (event-apply-control-modifier prompt)))
   (define-key function-key-map [f8] 'C-cC-)
