Typically corrections systems have policies where a prisoner may be required to serve only a portion of their sentence in jail. For example, someone being sentenced to 10 years may actually only serve 3 in prison before becoming eligible for parole. If the court wishes to ensure that a defendant spend the rest of his/her life in custody, they may be ordered to serve a long sentence.
Additionally, criminal defendants are often convicted of several charges, and one or more of those convictions may be reversed on appeal. Each charge is sentenced separately to be sure that a defendant serves a fair sentence for the crimes he/she is convicted of.
