When it appears that any person has committed several distinct offences, the Court shall impose punishment for each offence as separate counts. However, whether or not there is an increase, reduction, or reduction of the scale of punishment, the total imprisonment for all counts shall not exceed the following:
(1) Ten years, in the case where the most serious count carries a maximum imprisonment of not more than three years;
(2) Twenty years, in the case where the most serious count carries a maximum imprisonment exceeding three years but not more than ten years;
(3) Fifty years, in the case where the most serious count carries a maximum imprisonment exceeding ten years, unless the Court imposes life imprisonment.
