this song apparently ends at around the 5 min mark, but does big rock ending stuff for at least 40 seconds after that. i'd break this down as two BREs followed by one regular ending. I'd characterize this as one fake ending, since you can end your BRE with an ending, but it's unorthodox (to say the least!) to follow a BRE by a BRE
does any song have three BREs? live stuff doesn't really count, and keep in mind that jam bands don't technically make songs
that said, all/any other examples of fake endings are welcome

has any prankster uploaded the ~90 empty tracks from Broken onto youtube yet? (classic fake album ending)
saving someone else the indignity
1 fake ending (a decoy fade out)
I hope this is not a spoiler for anyone

Motorhead - overkill ends so many times and just starts pummeling again so hard. I always picture someone hearing the first ending and going like "wow, what a banger! We'll that was fun see ya guys" and starting to walk away then phil just starts slaying the kit and they're like "wait! Fuck ok I'm back!" Then it ends again and again they go "damn, that ruled. OK now that it's over I'm off!" And once again getting sucked back in. You're not leaving this party my friend, it never stops

Overkill is definitely the one I thought of first. There's only one fake ending in this song but Cave In's "The End of Our Rope Is A Noose" does a really heavy slow fade out that lasts a long time and then as soon as it's down to silence, the song kicks back in to the actual outro, which rules.

This has a lot, but I think Overkill especially some live versions are like 6 hours long.

I haven’t listened in some time, but the end of My Ass is on Fire (Mr. Bungle) doesn’t the ending prolonged with Patton screaming “redundant” and those Mr. Bungle ‘clips’.
