If you really want to make a LAG, you could create a static LAG on the GSS116E and a Round Robin bond on the NAS, which would be the correct configuration.
Unless you have a good reason to think so, using an LACP LAG between the NAS and GS108T, then a static LAG between the GS108T and the GSS116E is not going to have any benefit over simply using a direct static LAG.
I personnaly avoid ALB, but that's only my opinion ;)

What do you mean two Static LAGs?
You need to have a single Static LAG (two ports) on the switch and a Round robin bond on the NAS (both NICs).
1) create the Round robin on the NAS.
2) create the Static LAG on the switch
3) wire it (both NICs of NAS to the two switch ports members of the Static LAG).
