Interconnecting layer 3 switches

Hi everyone, i need to make a network for a networking exercise. The network consists of two ISPs, 2 routers (each one fo them connected to one ISP, say, router A with ISP A, and router B with ISP B) Those routers are connected to a layer 3 switch (the main switch) which is going to be connected to another 5 layer 3 switches, each of them with 16 computers per switch connected, for a total of 80 PCs. The thing is, our tutor wants us to interconnect the 5 switches between them and to the main switch using a topology, im using hibrid star ring (the ring is connecting the 5 switches between them and to the main one, and the star is for the 16 computers per switch). I am not sure if this is the correct way to do it, as i've read that if i were to connect the 5 switches to the main one using, say, extended star, those 5 routers would be interconnected and able to communicate between them. Any help would be appreciated.
