This is quite messy. How about we add a general helper to "notmuch-lib.el":

(defun notmuch-string-match-list-p (regexps string)
  (loop for regexp in regexps
	if (string-match-p regexp string)
	return t))

and then write:

    (if (or (string= chosen-type inner-type)
            (equal notmuch-show-all-multipart/alternative-parts t)
            (notmuch-string-match-list-p notmuch-show-all-multipart/alternative-parts inner-type))
       ...

?
