Try this:

s = '%s %s %s %s %s %s %s %s %s\n' % ((A,) + tuple(b) + (C, D))

BTW, the other error in your statement was not putting the concatenation
inside of parentheses.  Remember your order of evaluation for operators.
The modulo operator (%) has a higher precedence than the addition (+)
operation.  It suprises me that you actually got the error that you did get.
