As already advised, the sentence is 28 years; but the accused will have to stay in jail only for 4 years because each sentence of 4 years in 7 cases has been ordered to run concurrently. Thus the accused will complete 28 years sentence in 4 years.

There is no clarification required from any court as the judgement of conviction is clear. However, you may seek necessary orders from appellate court.
