I’ve heard accounts of prisoners being sentenced to consecutive life sentences. Regardless of the number of life sentences, the person will still be serving for the one life they’ve got, right?. Are there different legal implications behind multiple sentences?

Parole. Even with a life sentence, it is still possible to apply for a receive parole after some period of time. Say 25 years.
So if the sentence were applied concurrently, the person who killed 4 people could be on the streets after 25 years.
By applying the sentence consecutively, the person would be not be eligible for parole until they had served 100 years.
