Plurivalent certainly exists. The French are perhaps fonder of it than English speakers. It is used mainly in scientific circles for describing something with a number of different qualities -- eg. the plurivalent beneficial effects of St John's Wort. If there is such a word as plurivalent, then there is no reason why it shouldn't exist in its adverbial form as plurivalently. It's hard to think of a context -- plurivalently beneficial, perhaps.

What context did it appear in? As a neologism (a new word) if it makes sense from its constituent parts then I suppose it would be acceptable as being constructed from 'pluri' and 'valency'. Also, -valent can be linked up with poly-, as in polyvalent.

I don't think it's a word, I can't find a definition for it.

I'd go with multivalently. Multivalent is in my dictionary.
Do I know you?
