Bismuth is in group 5, meaning that it has 5 electrons in its outer shell (thus it has 3 gaps). Oxygen is in group 6, meaning that it has 6 electrons in its outer shell (thus it has 2 gaps). Since both are Non-metals, they use covalent bonding. By doing so they form Bi2O3 rather than the larger molecule you describe. Covalent bonding would make it impossible for the two extra oxygens to join the molecule. These two extra oxygens would instead form O2. In the example I gave the Bismuth molecules had 6 gaps and so did the oxygen molecules so covalent bonding left the molecule with no gaps. Atoms want to be in balance so the example I gave would be how the atom would want to be.
