I would imagine that he could get life for each sentence ,as in this country the Norwegian judge could rule that the sentences run consecutively as opposed to concurrently.
They also have a sentance called "containment" which is set at 21 yrs with parole after 10yrs ,if the offender is still deemed a threat then another 5 yrs can added once that has finished the prisoner can have further 5yr terms added so in theory he could end up serving actual life

The maximum indeterminate penalty, called "containment" (Norwegian: forvaring), is also set at 21 years imprisonment, and the prisoner is required to serve at least 10 years before becoming eligible for parole. "Containment" is used when the prisoner is deemed a danger to society and there is a great chance of committing violent crimes in the future. If the prisoner is still considered dangerous after serving the original sentence, the prisoner can receive up to five years additional containment. If the additional time is served, and the offender is still considered dangerous, a prisoner can continue to receive up to five years additional containment, and this, in theory, could result in actual life imprisonment.[2] However, the offender can be paroled or released at any time if it is determined that the offender is no longer a danger to society
