Multiplex 30 input 30 output

i trying multiplex between arduino mega using RS485 i succeed turn 1 output with 1 input

but now the problem i need turn an array of input through rs485 to output

byte buttons[] = {22, 24, 26, 28, 30, 32, 34, 36, 38};
#define NUMBUTTONS sizeof(buttons)

byte lastStates[sizeof(buttons)];

int buttonState = 0;         // current state of the button
int lastState = 0;     // previous state of the button

void setup()   /****** SETUP: RUNS ONCE ******/
{
 // Start the built-in serial port, probably to Serial Monitor
 Serial.begin(9600);
 Serial.println("Error Checking ");
 
 pinMode(Pin13LED, OUTPUT);
 
for (int i=0;i<NUMBUTTONS;i++)
 pinMode(buttons[i], INPUT); 
 
 
 // Start the software serial port, to another device
 RS485Serial.begin(9600);   // set the data rate 

}//--(end setup )---

void loop() 
{
 // flag to indicate that a button changed state
 bool fChanged = false;
 // values of buttons
 byte buttonValues = 0;

 // read all buttons and check for change
 for (int i = 0; i < sizeof(buttons); i++)
 {
   byte buttonState = digitalRead(buttons[i]);
   if (buttonState != lastStates[i])
   {
     // update last state
     lastStates[i] = buttonState;
     // indicate that a button changed
     fChanged = true;
     // set flags in button values
     buttonValues |= (1 << i);
   }
 }

 // if a button changed, send the data
 if (fChanged == true)
 {
     RS485Serial.write(buttonValues);
     Serial.print(buttonValues);
   }
 }

serial monitor show 1,2,4,8,16,32,64...etc

so i can only have 8 input? how to send more than that?

 RS485Serial.begin(4800);   // set the data rate 
 
}//--(end setup )---

void loop(){
// put your main code here, to run repeatedly:
 if(RS485Serial.available())
 {
   byte b = RS485Serial.read();
   Serial.print(b, DEC);
   // loop through the bits in the received byte for every defined LED
   for (int cnt = 0; cnt < sizeof(leds); cnt++)
   {
     digitalWrite(leds[cnt], b & (1 << cnt));
   }
 }
 Serial.println();
}

The LED sometime stay light on sometime light off not responsive

Just beginner here sorry to cause any inconvenience
