You're likely on probation for the first two with a condition of probation not to drive unless licensed and insured. By picking up another 14601, you could face probation violations on both cases, along with the new charges. Each of those cases carries up to 6 months in county jail, so if a judge really wanted to pound you, they could run the sentences consecutive (back to back).

You're going to need a criminal defense attorney to represent you and if there is any possible way to get your license reinstated before you go back to court, do it.
