See this aricle in Pubmed

Article Abstract
We compared clinical features and prognosis of 72 adults with a first-even seizure presentation comprising multiple discrete seizures within 24 hours to 425 patients presenting with a single seizure. Those presenting with multiple seizures were no more likely to have seizure recurrence, irrespective of etiology or treatment. Hence, a presentation with multiple seizures within 24 hours should e regarded as a single event, in keeping with the International League Against Epilepsy recommendations.
