Law is silent about the benefit to be given for more than two kids. Hence it can be argued that the employee is entitled for the maternity benefits of 84 days as normal.

The new ammendment act has been passed by the lokshabha. Pending in the rajya shabha.
You are required to give maternity leave (both under current and revised law). However, under the new law, for first 2 children you need to give 26 weeks (6 months) and for remaining child you are required to give 12 weeks leave.
Again the wording used is "where she has less than 2 children alive", so it means in case of an unfortunately incident like death of a child, she will still be eligible for full 6 months maternity pay.
