Statutory Parental Bereavement Pay Entitlement for Multiple Children Death on Same Day of Death

Could you please clarify how payment works with regards to Statutory Parental Bereavement Pay in the scenario that a parent loses multiple children on the same day, I understand they can take multiple period of leave per child that passed away, however does this mean they are entitled to £172.48 per week of leave so if a parent loses 3 children on the same day and decide to take 2 weeks leave per child, is he entitled to £172.48 per week of leave for the 6 weeks taken off? also how much would they be entitled to if they decided to take just 1 or 2 weeks off in the event that they lose 3 children on the same day?
