You really think judo lacks techniques for tight spaces or multiple attackers? You might want to check that again. Judo does have strikes as well, at least the traditional judo does and I have never had a problem throwing a punch in a tight space, just to name one technique.
I'd say stick with the judo and eventually you will become more rounded and it will all fit together nicely too. If you are in a sports school where they have taken out all the techniques not allowed in the ring you might want to transition eventually to a traditional judo school where they still teach strikes and more lethal applications.

That description fits many styles. You can find joint manipulation and close range fighting in thousands of styles
There is no best style.
They will all work as long as you train right and have a good instructor.
Your size, body type and sex have nothing to do with the style you want to choose. People that think that your size and body type determine the style know little to nothing about martial arts
styles are made to adapt to your body type
Most people will tell you there style is the best or they heard such and such is a great style,
The style is not important, what matters is how good your instructor is and how you train. The style is secondary, they all have there pro's and con's there are no superior styles.
If you have an instructor that can’t teach you how to fight, regardless of the style, what good would it do you?
Choose a school with a good instructor in the end that’s all that matters, that and how you train.
Its the person that has the ability to fight not the style

There's too much going on here. Number one, you have multiple attackers in a tight space. That's rarely going to work out for anyone. Secondly, you're talking about joint manipulation which is really ineffective against multiple attackers or just in a street fight. What's going to happen while you're on the ground manipulating that joint? Thirdly, judo is mainly to throw you to the ground ... if this happens with multiple attackers, you're done. Learn to avoid confrontation is your best advice here.

Krav Maga trains in this. Most of the time the instructor will have some students hold up practice mats as "mock alleys" or narrow aisles. They teach you to use things like elbows, knees, headbutts, finger jab to the eyes and slapping the ears. However Krav isn't the only answer to this. It all depends on the sensei and sifu as karate guys and kung fu guys can also do this.

If there is no style that will match this, then it's for you to study hard, train with first one good teacher, get the basics, then many good teachers.

i really don't think to many could handle a solid judoka. judo is actually what you would want for what you are describing.

Don't waste time with krap maga, its full of unrealistic techniques and mcdojo's. The teach crap like dealing with grenades and kicking guns out of people's hands like that will ever work.
You want a real martial arts like kung fu, karate,arnis,Japanese jujutsu they all teach those things. Not some mcdojo krap.
@bushicrap, There are 32 krap maga gyms in my area, I have visited, and they all teach the same crap. Kicking knives and guns out of peoples hands, unrealistic defenses, etc, etc, etc
edit:> wow bushicrap you really understand crap about martial arts.
