When implementing the multi-bit versions of basic gates(not,and,or) are we to use the previously built versions?

Yes, use the gates you have built to build your new gates.

This idea of abstraction is one of the aims of the course. If you were to try to build everything with Nands, it would be a huge amount of effort.  See Why We Like Abstraction.
