The same two villagers can indeed breed multiple times, as long as there are enough beds and food available in the breeding area, and the location is not overpopulated, allowing them to continue breeding with a 5-minute cooldown. This means that villagers can breed indefinitely if the necessary conditions are met, making it possible to create an infinite villager breeding farm.
