Without -a, multiple runs of xvfb-run will use the same server number. If the first xvfb-run has not freed the resource yet by the time the second xvfb-run is invoked, a conflict will occur, causing an error.
With -a, the second xvfb-run will automatically pick a different server number, thus avoiding the conflict.
