Paraphrasing the wikipedia article, the final missile stage itself picks the first trajectory, ejects the first warhead, then shifts to the second trajectory and ejects the second warhead. It iterates through each trajectory, dropping each warhead as it goes until it completes its full barrage.
Worth note is that not all of them will work the same, and some designs may include aerodynamic guidance or individual rocket motors.
