I don't quite understand your qualifications here, but there is a correct sentence: If we had had the exam last week, we would have been partying now.

The past perfect (have been) denotes completed action, which clashes with now. Say "... we would have been partying by now" (that is partying from some time between the exam and the present) or "... we would be partying now" (that is, continuing to party as you speak).
