Alternatively and possibly not recommended, use sudo -i to become root, then run all your commands in that window. It will only as for the password once.
Indeed, and this would have been simplest, although it also means that anything else I do is run as root, which is non-ideal from the point of view of safety but also because I'll tend to leave files scattered around with wrong ownership.
Open a new window. Do the sudo -i stuff in it. Do the non sudo normal stuff in another window.
