<upd_refs>A google search shows some usages of "many-sided wait" among
English-speaking mahjong players. I think this is the most
natural translation. Compare: リャンメン待ち "double-sided wait"

I also often see these referred to as "complex waits."

Daina Chiba also uses "complex waits" in his book (page 80):

This is the same thing as 多面張:

  多面待ちは、麻雀用語で「多面張(タメンチャン)」とも言います。
