You'll need to create the template with more than one artboard if that's how you want it to open.
You could always open a new file with how many artboards you want then use File > Place to place your template on the artboards.
Or.. Open a file with a single artboard and the template. Then use the artboard tool to copy the artboards rather than setting an artboard number when creating a document.
