That's because there are only two power pins on the IC regardless of how many units the device has.When the part is designed, you add the power pins to ONE of the units, ( it's more common to add them to the first part, but it does not really matter which), then you set them to be common to units, and to set it to no show.
That provides Kicad with the info needed to connect power lines up automatically, and for the DRC to work correctly.
