I'm not certain what the official stance is, but the interpretation I've heard is that you calculate number of extra hits normally (ie, Margin of Success divided by Rcl) and only apply the critical effects to the first bullet.

The best critical chance you can achieve is 6-, with effective skill 16. There are a few options that can let you get automatic criticals, though. The Super Luck advantage (p89) lets you dictate the result of any one die roll you make, once per hour of gameplay. The GM might also allow Buying Success (p347), which would let you convert a normal success to a critical at a cost of 2 character points.

Despite the power of criticals, it's usually more efficient to invest in abilities that raise your probability of normal success (and lower an enemy's chance to defend) than trying to ensure a critical.
