Responsa for Megillah 58:12
אלא למ"ד צו את קרבני מאי שני שני דאילו ראשי חדשים קרו שיתא בעניינא דיומא וחד בדראש חודש ואילו האידנא כולהו בדראש חודש
He does make a difference, because on other cases of Rosh Hodesh six read in the portion of the day and one that of Rosh Hodesh, whereas in this case all read in that of Rosh Hodesh.

Q. How many persons should be called (in the Synagogue) to the reading of the weekly portion on Rosh-hodesh (day of the new-moon) or Hanukkah when they fall on Sabbath?
A. Many of our ritual customs are based on the Siddur of Rav Amram, the Halakot Gedolot, and the tractate Soferim. From these sources we have derived our custom that the first seven persons read the portion of the week, and the maftir (one who concludes the reading of the Torah) reads the portion pertaining to the special occasion.
SOURCES: Pr. 110.
