I just tested it again to be sure: 2 stationary ships 40k apart, each armed with 3 quad Gauss turrets (6 shots per barrel) linked to a single fire control, one of them also sporting 2 CIWS. Defenses set to final fire mode at 50k.
10 very slow salvos of one missile each were fired at one of them repeatedly. Depending one which ship was targeted, either 2 or 4 were intercepted.
So: Each fire control or CIWS targets a single salvo. Ships don't need to be in exactly the same spot for final fire to work
