Both WITH and RECURSIVE only appear once in the statement no matter how many withquery CTEs are defined. The RECURSIVE modifier allows any of the CTEs to reference themselves AND ALSO allow the queries to be defined "out-of-order". Without RECURSIVE earlier queries cannot reference later queries. While the absence of RECURSIVE prevents the advanced behavior from working any WITH query-set that works without RECURSIVE will work identically even if RECURSIVE is added.
