What will really happen
1/ The limitations act 1980 does not apply in criminal cases, the UK has no statute of limitations for crimes.
2/ Failure to Surrender to Bail is a crime in itself , and the tariff is not affected by what happens to the original charges. so the fact that the Swedes have dropped the charges will have no baring.
3/ When he leaves the Ecuadorian embassy, assuming no deals, he would normally be arrested, held in police custody until he can be held on remand in a London prison, until the Failure to Surrender to Bail case can be heard in a UK court. This may take some time, given current funding for UK courts.
4/ Under current guidelines, and given he is guilty, he would probably only be fined, given a suspended sentence, along with probable deportation.
5/ Whilst he is on remand Sweden or the Land of the 'Free' may choose to restart their cases against him and put in a new extradition request.
6/ Given his bail jumping history it is extremely unlikely he will ever be given bail again in the UK, and so will be held on remand at all stages until he leaves the country, either by deportation or extradition.
For those who are interested, below are the current sentencing guidelines for failure to surrender to bail.
