Open the Time Signature dialog box. Click the "Composite" button. In the 
first box next to  Beat Groups, type 3+2 (do *not* type 3 in the first box 
and 2 in the second). In the first box next to Beat Duration, type 8. Hit OK.

The dialog box will now show the correct beaming pattern, but with a time 
signature of 3+2/8. So click Options, then 'Use a different time signature 
for display', and set the display time signature to 5/8.

If you've already entered a bunch of music that you want rebeamed, just use 
the Mass Mover tool to select the measures, choose Rebeam to Time Signature 
from the Mass Mover menu, and use the instructions above to rebeam to the 
3+2/8 time signature.

Hope this helps.

Aaron.
