This will include a bingo area into your document. You can now design your template. Group your design, select the group and clone the group. Label the clone to Bingo Area in the layer and objects dialog (Object > Layers and Objects). Create as many clones as you need. When finished run the Bingo Card Creator extension again. Disable create bingo area in the template tab and apply. All bingo areas will be filled with random numbers at once.
