Typhoon with 2 Storm Shadow can only take one 1000l EFT on centerline station. I think this configuration is not realistic or very useful in real combat situation, maybe in some rare cases or with several aerial refuelings.
If you just look at the Libya for Storm Shadow strike RAF used Tornado with tow 2250l EFT and France used Rafale with two or three 2000l EFT and i think they need refueling, i’m not trying to bash, i think it’s a real problem but it’s just my opinion.
Indeed you’re correct about the configuration, with regards of what it can carry, but it’s not really a real problem. With sufficient AAR it wouldn’t be a problem, however it comes down to where they take off of from, where the target(s) are located, what threats they have to avoid etc.
Typhoon will have Conformal Fuel Tanks (1,500litre each – 3x drop tanks worth) anyway so it’d be covered.
During the Libyan campaign RAF Tornado GR4s armed with Storm Shadows flew out from the UK then back most of the time without any issues. Rafales operated out of France but I believe they also operated out of Italy with Scalps too, and with significant amounts of fuel & still made emergency landings in Malta on several occasions.
It all depends on good planning.
