On the score you'd have all the reed parts (for each individual player) on a separate stave, so Reed 1 will have one stave and all the doublings in that part will be on that one stave with each instrument change labelled as it happens.
Don't be too ambitious with your doublings in that you don't have a bassoon doubling oboe and flute - some players may be able to do this, but they're few and far between. If you can have a separate oboe/cor anglais part and separate bassoon part, that will make things easier when it comes to booking players as most single reed players don't often play double reeds and similarly some double reed players won't often play flute, clarinet or saxes (yes there are some that do, but it's a rarity).
