Of course, assuming there is only one victim, there can be only one sentence for whatever homicide of which he may be convicted.

I saw a case once where there were 4 murder victims, but the state charged 8 counts of murder, presumably under the Blockburger rule, elements were present in one murder charge, and not in another.

Of course they can only be sentenced on 4 counts, even if convicted of all 8.
