I checked with Thule and the Thule OutWay 3 Bike Carrier # TH56BV is confirmed to fit your 2008 Toyota Prius. The biggest limiting factor for whether or not you could carry your tandem bike plus your 2 other bikes will be the weight of your bikes and the length of your tandem bike.
The weight limit for this rack is 99 pounds, which I believe you would pretty easily exceed with your tandem bike plus your other two bikes.
What you could do is put your two bikes on the # TH56BV, and then put a roof rack on your Prius and then use a Thule Tandem Roof Mounted Bike Rack # TH558P to carry your tandem bike.
I attached a link that shows all of the different roof racks that are available for your vehicle. You will want to select which model you have from the drop down menu and all of the available roof racks for your vehicles will be listed.
I attached a review video for the # TH56BV for you to check out also.
