Consecutively means one straight after another. Numbered consecutively, four consecutively, sentences served consecutively.
In sentencing the word decides years of somebody's life: consecutive sentences are served one after another and concurrent ones at the same time, so the same two sentences can mean twenty years or ten. Pages and invoices are numbered consecutively so a gap shows.
