I understand that the foreign resident capital gains withholding clearance certificate is valid for a one-year period, however cannot find anywhere on the ATO where it specifically mentions, or an example shown where a seller has sold multiple properties within the validity period.
If a seller sells multiple properties within the "Clearance Certificate Period" (of 12 months), does that seller require a different clearance certificate?
Yes to your headline question and no to your last question. Certificate is not property specific. Certificate simply confirms that "purchasers are not required to withhold and pay an amount".
You can see this when you receive your certificate.

@Taxduck - appreciate the clear answer.
Definitely not a gripe against you, but I don't believe I (or anyone else) should need to go digging into blogs or other unofficial material to find an answer like this, that would have otherwise been cleared up in a simple example.
