You want the total in numeric format, not in the graph?

IIRC there's mrtg totalizer.

Something similar to what you wrote, however you do not take care of
three important properties:

1) the first two or three lines are different
2) each remaining line describes "something per second" and should thus
   be multiplied by the number of seconds
3) the log file has 4 parts, each part having a different number of
   seconds per line
