If I cast banishment at a higher level (allowing me to target multiple creatures at once) on multiple creatures native to the plane I'm on, do they all get sent to the same harmless demiplane? Or are each of them banished to their own separate harmless demiplanes?

You can't drown someone with Create Water. If your lungs are containers than your bones are objects. Any Siege monster that attacks you deals double damage because it’s attacking your bones.
Purely DM discretion, I think. Could all be in the same demiplane, all in different ones, all in the same one but they're unaware of each other so it's effectively different planes, stuck in pods like in the Matrix... whatever fits with the flavor of the caster's spells.

Active characters:
Carric Aquissar, elven wannabe artist in his deconstructionist period (Archfey warlock) Lan Kidogo, mapach archaeologist and treasure hunter (Knowledge cleric) Mardan Ferres, elven private investigator obsessed with that one unsolved murder (Assassin rogue) Xhekhetiel, halfling survivor of a Betrayer Gods cult (Runechild sorcerer/fighter)
I would go with separate planes. If you banished two creatures that were fighting eachother to the same location - where they continued to fight - then that might not be considered a "harmless" demiplane.
Banishment will send a fiend and elemental to different planes when they're targeted on the Prime Material, but it will send two fire elementals to the same plane (Fire). Sending multiple targets to the same plane or distinct ones are both within the realm of how the spell behaves, and the RAW has no clarity, so it's up to your DM.

It doesn't really matter, as they're incapacitated during that time.
(so won't be continuing a fight, as previous posted said)
