This isn't a question about where to place the Scarabs once spawned but a question about which Spiders in a unit can spawn them due to distance. The rule stated that a Spider has to be within 6in of a Scarab unit to spawn a new one. Now is that 6in from each individual Spider or can one Spider within 6in count for the whole unit?

I read it as each Spider because you roll for each Spider to see if they take damage. It's like shooting, If a model in a unit that is shooting isn't in range of the target then it down't get to shoot even though the rest of the models do.

From each spider, as it does not state "spider unit" or similar.
