You can download and install the iCloud for Windows app. It will install an iCloud Drive folder in windows explorer and you can drag everything you want from there to another folder on your PC.

click here ➜ View, add, or remove iCloud Drive files in iCloud for Windows - Apple Support


Alternatively, you can go to https://icloud.com and select multiple files there and choose the download button. It will then download them.
