Is there any rule that say something like each attack roll made be rolled separately when using the same MAP?
Example: Group of 6 characters vs a Roper, the roper can use 2 action to FLurry of Strands which say:
"The roper makes a strand Strike with each of its strands (except those that are immobilizing creatures). Each attack must be against a different target. These attacks count toward the roper's multiple attack penalty, but its multiple attack penalty doesn't increase until after all the attacks"
So it can attack with +21 each tarhet on the range. Can I roll one and use that roll for every character instead of 6 different rolls?
There's another abilities like Furious Fusillade of Erinys which specify that must be rolled separtely so I think its possible when the text doesnt specify?
"Furious Fusillade [Three Actions]The erinys hovers in place if they are flying and fires one arrow at any number of creatures in a 30-foot cone. Each attack is rolled separately. This counts as one attack for the purpose of the erinys's multiple attack penalty"

It's the other way round. You only apply one roll tou multiple checks if the ability explicitly says so. Otherwise you roll once for each target.
An example for an ability that let's you roll once for two different targets is the staff acrobat's Staff Sweep. It also has the added benefit of counting as only one attack towards your MAP since only one check happens.

And this difference becomes quite important when other abilities like True Strike or a "next attack roll" buff/debuff come into play.
