i assume it means they have some specialized softcores they want to use LLVM with that have like 18-bit bytes or something. i know there are many DSPs with 16-bit bytes but they're going further still
I would assume it's for high level synthesis (HLS). Most C/C++/OpenCL HLS tools are based on clang and llvm. And in HLS you want to have C datatypes of any arbitrary bit width.
Their ASIP tool is indeed a HLS tool. What they do is let you specify a custom processor that is tailored for your specific code. You can tweak the processor and see how it affects the design size and performance. I would guess non 8 bit comes from the instruction size.
