Consider the following situation:
You are Level 2 character, Wizard1/Fighter1.
To level up to level 3 and turn into Wizard2/Fighter1, you have to get 3000 EXP.
Consider another situation:
You are Level 21 character, Wizard20/Fighter1 (or vice versa - doesn't really matter).
To level up to level 22 and turn into Wizard20/Fighter2, you have to get 22000 EXP.
So back at the 2nd level you had to get 3000 EXP to level up from Fighter1 to Fighter2, while at 21st level you have to get 22000 EXP to level up from Fighter1 to Fighter2.
I know this is required from the crunch perspective to "balance" the game, but how would this discrepancy be addressed from the roleplaying perspective?

It's hard to imagine that a person would have to spend more than 7 times the amount of effort he would've spent before just because of "old ways" influence.

It wouldn't be. Levelling up isn't a thing to acknowledge in roleplaying. It's a purely mechanical means of representing improvement with time.

If you let them level up according to their levels one class at a time, it would still take twice as long to be a Wizard20/Fighter20.
It kinda balances itself.
The only problem is using max powered spells to kill max powered enemies and then dumping all the EXP into fighting with swords.
There are two ways I can see this being played fairly: either have the multiclass set from the beginning and require twice as much XP to level up, or monitor the characters actions and give the EXP to each class depending on his role in combat and dialog.
Unless you're playing computer game, in which case you'll have to play by the rules they give you.
