The good news here is that, where the 8th Avenue Subway and the 2nd Street SE subway meet, there would be a transfer station that would connect both to the 7th Avene line. So you could walk that block underground and surface right at 7th Avenue. Also, north/south blocks downtown are considerably shorter than east/west blocks so the transferring between lines would be easy.
Might not cut down on confusion, but subway lines in other cities are often separated by a few blocks as well.

Since the last stop is always changing with expansion, keeping up to date on what train to take can get confusing for out of town and non-frequent passengers.

I agree. Something simple like numbers, letters, colours or just directions (south line, west line, northwest, etc.) would be much easier to navigate.
