I think the prevailing opinion is to create a separate tag for each bit

You can write a script to create these tags  
[Import bit alarm tags from .csv to Ignition byte tags - Ignition - Inductive Automation Forum](https://forum.inductiveautomation.com/t/import-bit-alarm-tags-from-csv-to-ignition-byte-tags/29870/3)

I have not used it yet, but there is also a tag import tool on the exchange that might be a better choice
