I just increment the footnotes across all the articles. So, for example, if
article 1 has footnotes 1 and 2, article 2 will continue from footnote
number 3. The beauty is that if you export article 2, it will auto-reset
the footnote reference to number 1.

The key is to not manually number the footnotes and let C-c C-x f (bound to
org-footnote-action) do its thing.

Hope that helps.
