You can make the representation just for the first molecule and use
Extensions->Visualization->Clone Representation tool which will copy this
representation to all molecules.

You could also write a TCL script that does it.
Just enable tcl command logging from File -> Log Tcl Commands to Console
and see what commands it spits out when you change the representations and
paste them into a script with a for loop over all molecules.
