When a match is first made, regardless of the number of matches made with that one move (or spell), traits will only trigger once. Once gems fall and matches are resolved again, traits will fire again.
TL;DR: Traits only fire once per matching resolution.

This makes a whole new sense for me now, I thought it only could go off once per turn.
