I'm more familiar with CMOS, so please disregard if this will be confusing. I can just tell you what I know about CMOS. In CMOS there is room for flexibility for these situations. If you can get 4 paragraphs in consecutive order right next to each other you can do a complete indentation for entire quote and change color font or italics (ex of this would be Eytan Kobre).
If they aren't next to each other--which seems to be your case--I wouldn't repeat author's name, and I'm not sure I'd put page and paragraph again in parenthesis each time. Arent they all on same page? How long was that piece? I never saw that being done for a short article.

what's cmos?
the quotes are indented. since they're all longer than 4 lines. its not literally one quote consecutive after the other. they're all sandwiched in w some of my words before n after.
the editorial is one page.
my essay is about 2 pages

Did they give you specific rules to follow? I would just reference the article/author once and then use different ways of introducing quotes, such as As the author notes: "...." or in the article John Doe says: "...." or In the above referenced piece makes a claim that "...".
If you really need it to be formal and proper and it could affect your grade I'd pay a proofreader to be sure.

I believe in MLA you have to use in text citations if you are quoting directly from your source even if it is one source. the authors name and page number must be present. For example.. "apples are very healthy,(Smith 26). or as the famous author John smith says, "Apples are very healthy," (26). Im pretty sure I am correct but don't rely on me if its wrong lol

I don't get it, you are a writer or editor but don't know how to write?

To make things easier I would look for a second related article I could quote at least once. And, yes, make sure to have a works cited page.
