Why we see only one rainbow at some far away and not like many separated by some distance but making that same angle of 42°?

We know that angle needed to see a rainbow assuming sun is at horizon is 42° but then why will that rainbow formation be unique and why not at that angle many rainbows be form in that angle why just a single rainbow is formed at that angle ? And will it be seen same for all height people ?
