Why do you think libssh2_channel_exec is the right one for you?

Yes. libssh2_channel_exec requests the exec service type. This service
type is for executing a single command.

If you want to execute multiple commands then a shell service is more
appropriate.

How is that specified?

How would you do it when using for example openssh ssh command?

libssh2_channel_exec() is the equivalence of

   ssh -T hostname command

compared to libssh_channel_shell() which is more similar to

   ssh -T hostname

and then give the desired command(s) as input.
