I'm glad to hear that your daughter has had such success with the brain tumor issues. My son had just a minor problem with a lesion when he was an infant, and even though the surgery took no more than a couple hours and no chemo was necessary, it was a terribly trying time. I can't imagine what you've been through.
To my layman's eyes, the amount of the dosages you list doesn't strike me as out of line even though she's maxed out on the Depakote. I know that some interactions increase elimination rates for certain drugs, and that might play into the dosages you're dealing with.
The situation you have sounds pretty involved, and I wouldn't have the ability to comment very intelligently on it--particularly as to a child. In my experience, this is second opinion territory if you're concerned that the cocktail she's on isn't doing the job.
