contents The authors recently introduced a new construction of a knot as an extended symmetric union of a knot with a single tangle region. In this paper, we generalize the construction to include multiple tangle regions. The constructed knot $K$ with a partial knot $\hat{K}$ and multiple tangle regions satisfies the following two properties: its Alexander polynomial is the product of the Alexander polynomials of the numerators of these tangles and the square of the Alexander polynomial of the partial knot $\hat{K}$, and there exists a surjective homomorphism from the knot group of $K$ to that of $\hat{K}$ which maps the longitude of $K$ to the trivial element.
