You need only connect the power to one part of a component for all parts of that component to be powered from the same rails. However, if you have, for example six quad nand gates (ie six components), then connecting one part of one quad nand gate to a different set of power rails doesn't connect up the other five quad nand gates, just the three other gates in the same component.
