The paper you cite, "On the multivariate Horner scheme" (Pena, Sauer) has an explicit algorithm specified on p.3.  The remaining challenge is to penetrate the notation and conventions in the paper
laid out in the first three pages far enough to turn their algorithm presentation into code.

It also seems that this paper (just reading the abstract) specifies an explicit algorithm:

> **Abstract**. An extension of Horner's algorithm to the evaluation of m-variate polynomials and their derivatives is obtained. The schemes of computation are represented by trees because this type of graph describes exactly in which order the computations must be done. Some examples of algorithms for one and two variables are given.
