Unless you are using tabs as accordions I don't see how you could have more than one tab selected as a time and have each tab panel be expanded. However, there may be situations where you can select multiple tabs to perform actions on them such as deleting tabs, etc. For accordions we do not recommend using the tab role though as the reading order does not coincide the structure.
