XENON is wrong.
It is 2, 8, 18, 18, 8
Where did the extra '18' come from in '8', '9', '10', '11' and '12'?
Where did the extra '8's come from in '9', '10', '11' and '12'?
And your extrapolation is wrong.
To extend the pattern as you are trying to do, it would look like:
RADON 2,8,18,32,18,8
UNUNOCTIUM 2,8,18,32,32,18,8
8 2,8,18,32,32,32,18,8
9 2,8,18,32,32,32,32,18,8
10 2,8,18,32,32,32,32,32,18,8
11 2,8,18,32,32,32,32,32,32,18,8
12 2,8,18,32,32,32,32,32,32,32,18,8
So, using your logic, there is no limit to the number of possible nobel gases.
13 2,8,18,32,32,32,32,32,32,32,32,18,8
14 2,8,18,32,32,32,32,32,32,32,32,32,18,8
15 2,8,18,32,32,32,32,32,32,32,32,32,32,18,8
16 2,8,18,32,32,32,32,32,32,32,32,32,32,32,18,8
But your extrapolation is based solely on Radon and Ununoctium.
It could just as easily be:
RADON 2,8,18,32,18,8
UNUNOCTIUM 2,8,18,32,32,18,8
8 2,8,18,32,50,32,18,8
9 2,8,18,32,50,50,32,18,8
10 2,8,18,32,50,72,50,32,18,8
