I suspect this is as meant, but it is "multiply", the adverb, not the verb. So 
it might be worth rephrasing, but "multiple" would be wrong (it is about cases 
where you at one position have several partial matches, not several positions 
where you have a partial match). "Non-uniquely partially matching", perhaps?
