The statement as you gave it might occur in speech, but forms joined in this manner are not preferred in writing. Instead, separate the items with a comma, and put or only before the last item:
You may use X, Y, Z, or even something else.
This is effectively the same as the rule for lists of items joined by and.
(Oxford comma forever!)
