If you gain an amount of life "for each" of something or "equal to the number" of something, that life is gained as one event and Vampire Scrivener's first ability triggers only once.

2024-11-08wotc

Each creature with lifelink dealing combat damage causes a separate life-gaining event. For example, if two creatures you control with lifelink deal combat damage at the same time, Vampire Scrivener's firstability will trigger twice. However, if a single creature you control with lifelink deals combat damage to multiple creatures, players, planeswalkers, and/or battles at the same time (perhaps because it has trample or was blocked by more than one creature), the ability will trigger only once.

2024-11-08wotc

In a Two-Headed Giant game, life gained or lost by your teammate during your turn won't cause either of Vampire Scrivener's abilities to trigger, even though it caused your team's life total to increase or decrease.
