The 21+5x years can only be applied in cased where the convicted person is sentenced to forvaring (directly translated to English, I guess it means 'detainment'). Only sane people can be given such a sentence, and it can be extended by a maximum of five years at the time for as long as it's deemed necessary (this means it can be used as a de facto life sentence). People are only sentenced to detainment if the court consider it likely that he will repeat his crime or that he poses a threat to society in any other way. Additional years will not be added to people's sentences only for the sake of further punishing the convict.
The Utøya mass murderer will without a doubt receive a detainment sentence of 21 years. After 21 years his case will be re-evaluated if the prosecutor deems it necessary to extend the sentence (he will), and he will most likely get his sentence extended by another five years. I don't really see how this man could ever be deemed to not be a threat to society after what he did this friday.
