s8 8 8 are three events with a duration of 8, s8*3 is a single event
with a duration of 8*3 . The duration 8*3 _looks_ like a duration of 8
(not relevant for s but for example if you write c8*3) but takes up 3
times the actual space or "musical time" in the score. You can write
stuff like c8*2/3 for triplets without actual triplet markings.
So if we parenthesize (this is not LilyPond syntax), s8*3 means s(8*3)
rather than (s8)*3 where 8*3 means "8 but taking up 3 times the amount
of musical time".
