It looks like 'mitmekülgne' doesn't follow the normal -ne, -se. -st adjective formation rule, as the 3rd form is 'mitmekülgsest'. Is this because of pronunciation? ...being awkward to say-st after the -g
You hit the nail on the head!
According to the common pattern you'd end up with "mitmekülgst" (ne -> st), which not in line with the sound composition rules of Estonian.
Other words, like "kuldne", have the same "problem" and exhibit the same "solution" to this problem:
kuldne -> kuldset
siinne -> siinset
sealne -> sealset
etc
