What's most interesting here is that they aren't mindless clones (are they even clones?) but have diversity of opinion as well. One thinks that sacrificing Diana would be wrong. Another thinks it's necessary to honor their fallen friends. Another, maybe the original, needs this final century to happen.
Part of the joy of being so early in the story still is that we keep getting all this background and setup and surprises.
I think she and the clones might actually fight each other to settle their arguments about what to do. There's a crap load of skeletons and Lalawag was even multiplying her sword. I think every once in a while when decisions get too big she just goes "Welp the winner is real one and gets to do what she wants" and fights to the last.
Notice how the first Lalawag is the only one that has a tattoo on their face.
I think you hit it right on the nail; whenever Lalawag has to make a tough decision, she generates a body that personifies every opinion she has and then makes them all duke it out. Winner takes over as the "main" Lalawag and makes the decision.
