Even a shlamim that is brought "just-because"?

Or one week; it's a machlokes in the medrash.  Not that it makes any
difference.

But how long Moshe's kehuna lasted is a machlokes tana'im, and according
to the "yesh omrim" (which Rav follows) he was a kohen gadol for life.
See also Tosfos AZ 34a dh Bameh, whose girsa in the gemara in Zevachim
says explicitly that Moshe served as a kohen gadol for the entire 40 years.

The gemara asks just this question, and suggests that he was too busy,
talking to the Shechinah.  Zevachim 101b
