I have a small circuit board that will be paneled with a breakoff tab that allows for easy handling during assembly.
Currently we just V-Score the square breakoff tab, but we're trying to find a way to route signals across the divider to a programming header on the tab. Is there a way to create a snap off tab that has about 8 thin signal traces routed across to it?

This is a method successfully used for break-away tabs with programming headers:
The points of note are:
This has worked reliably for a bunch of boards, always broken by hand, not necessarily carefully.
