I'm practicing to get my permit and it says that you pull over to the right lane if this does happen and let it pass but what if there are multiple lanes on this highway and you're on the furthest left lane? Do you merge all the way over? That wouldn't make much sense.

Think about it for a moment. The idea is to get out of the way of the emergency vehicle. Thus, if it's behind you, just move to the lane on your right out of its way If it's in another lane already to your right don't pull in front of it!
Here we don't have a pull to the left or pull to the right rule. Drivers are simply expected to get out of the way, in whatever fashion they can safely do. If you can't safely do so wherever you are you might accelerate to get to a place where you can. Emergency drivers are taught not to expect other drivers to break the law for them, though often people will by for instance pulling through red lights IF IT IS SAFE.

Just do what you can to safely get out of the way.

You shouldn't be driving in the far Left lane anyway. That lane is commonly known as the passing lane, and should be used ONLY when passing slower vehicles.
As soon as you have passed the slower vehicle in front of you, move over to one of the lanes to the right. In some states, it's the law. In others, it's just common courtesy.

You move to the left, therefore giving it room to pass between you and the vehicle next to you.
1 SECONDS hesitation means that YOU are responsible for the person they are going to rescue DIEING.

Yes, you move over to the right. Read the handbook.
