No, you can only manipulate one series at a time with this plugin - whatever series column that you choose in the dropdown, that is the set of manipulations that will be saved. Any changes that may have been made for other series column(s) while you had the plugin window open will be discarded.
This is intentional and won't be changed - after all by saying a book belongs in a different series you are likely going to be working with a different selection of books anyway. And as proven by a bug in the early days of this plugin it all just gets too complicated trying to work out whether changes to a particular series column that isn't currently selected were intended by the user or accidental such as by being the default when they opened the dialog.

Hate to break it to you but the multiple series column feature has been in there since day 1.
If it makes you feel any better it didn't work very well due to the bug I mentioned above until v1.2.1 but that was still almost a year ago.
