There is also a power rating per package. Be careful that you do not exceed
that as well.

If your resistors are all in a single group I would modify the
existing symbol by
adding pins. If they are scattered across the schematic I would make
a slotted symbol.

Use one of the DIP footprints. To identify the resistor I would a
lowercase letter
suffix.
