Doesn't work like that.  They get sentenced according to which crime(s)
they've been found guilty of.  Just because the perp was found guilty
of stabbing someone, doesn't mean they're guilty of carrying a knife.
It could have been found at the scene, having been dropped by somebody
else.  Even if they had been carrying it, there's no reason to suppose
that they automatically get five years for that offense and the balance
is what they got for the stabbing.  More likely would be t'other way
round;  Two years for carrying and five for the stabbing.
