If you want to see them all, you can use PQsendQuery/PQgetResult.

https://www.postgresql.org/docs/current/static/libpq-async.html

There's a case to be made that we should change psql to use these
and print all the results not just the last one. I've not looked
to see how much work that would be; but now that we're actually
documenting how to script multi-command queries, it might be
a good idea to fix it before too many people have scripts that
rely on the current behavior.
