That's not necessary; the vim instances invent a unique name for
themselves. Perhaps the OP's requirement would be met by something
like the following bash script:
for vim_instance in $(vim --serverlist); do
vim --servername $vim_instance --remote-send ":xall<cr>"
done

Well, multiple instances give more flexibility with window placement,
and make use of one's window manager and one's skills with it.
There's already multiple windows with browser, xterms, file managers,
and so on; they can't go in a vim buffer, and vim has a limited
repertoire of window stuff, f.ex. it doesn't do a rotating cube.
