Depends on the design. Some have a system that feeds slack through a belay plate type doodad. I think you can put a new bit of rope in and reuse. The other type absorbs energy using a yates screamer type system where stitches are ripped - obviously not so reusable.

You probably wouldn't want to fall twice on the same VF using the same lanyard.
