I've archived all the unique floppies that came with my 8350 (there were
many duplicates), which came to 28 disks. I've put images up at:
http://yahozna.dyndns.org/scratch/VAX8200/
Images are provided in the raw SCP (SuperCard Pro) format and IMD
(ImageDisk) format. It's pretty trivial to convert these into whatever
format you desire (I suggest using the HxC floppy emulator tools here:
http://hxc2001.free.fr/floppy_drive_emulator/index.html#download)
These should work on any of the 8200/8300-series VAXen. A text file
detailing the label of the disk is included in each archive. I have not
tested these disks yet (the 8350 is a future project), if you run into
any issues I can try redumping the problematic disks.

Oh, that would be great to have. I have a 8354 (the last 4 is processor
count I think). Mine is in an unknown state.
I have some floppies, but not 40.

I also picked up a VAX 8350 today (it was a productive afternoon). It came
with a box of maybe 40 RX50 floppies for console and various diagnostics. A
cursory Internet search didn't reveal whether these have been archived
already.
If they haven't already been archived somewhere, I'll take care of archiving
them later this week...
Thanks,
