Two Loyalty Numbers
I don't think this is possible but would love to be corrected if wrong. I have SAS Gold Status, but would love to claim the points with my Virgin account (Silver). Is this possible at all or by doing that will I lose my SAS privileges for the flight?

The best way to do this is: Use the EBG number during check-in, enjoy extra bag, priority check-in, fast track and lounge. Then when you are in the lounge, change to the Virgin FFP number. Or do it at the gate.
But chances are 50/50. Sometimes the FFP number used when the boarding pass is issues is "stuck" to the booking.

even that doesn't guarantee the desired crediting... I have numerous boarding passes which says e.g. LH*G and still credit went to SK or vice versa.

if possible yes, but often enough it seems the FFP is stuck after check-in. Only way I found, was the gate agent. But YMMV
