Abstract In string theories, one-loop scattering amplitudes are characterized by integrals over genus-one surfaces using the Kronecker-Eisenstein series. A recent methodology proposed a genus-one basis formed from products of these series of chain topologies. A prior work further deconstructed cyclic products of the Kronecker-Eisenstein series on this basis. Building on it, our study further employs advanced and comprehensive combinatorial techniques to decompose more general genus-one integrands including a product of an arbitrary number of cyclic products of Kronecker-Eisenstein series, supplemented by Mathematica codes. Our insights enhance the understanding of multiparticle amplitudes across various string theories and illuminate loop-level parallels with string tree-level amplitudes.
