Ours used to prescribe 2 months at a time but now will only do one month which is irritating, except they will do more if you are e.g. away for a mont.
Re OP query, I have no personal experience of delivery but I imagine you could order all at once to reduce the effort for all, despite the dates being different, so long as your overall amount remains the same over a month or whatever.
Also, if you aren't already, see if your surgery offers the online app for ordering repeats - makes life so much easier.
You add your preferred chemist (or presumably delivery service), which in my case is Tesco.
My surgery always issue the prescription within 3 days, and it is sent automatically to Tesco and I get a text from Tesco when it is ready for collection, so I just collect with my next shop, or when I'm passing. It's even been same day for the past few times as I think the surgery now has a member of staff other than the doctor who can approve them, but I am expecting it to be not so quick next time around!!
