I'm afraid plpgsql isn't tremendously bright about such cases. If
you have all the values available at once, though, it seems like
you should be able to do

data.term_count := row(this, that, the_other);

An explicit cast of the row() construct to the target column's type
might be a good idea --- I think it would work without, but probably
not with good performance.
