My hen laid a clutch in February. The tom sat the nest. Meanwhile my hen kept squatting to mate. The eggs failed to hatch, I took the eggs away, Tom went back to normal. Now they are mating again. Is it possible she'll lay more eggs? She hasn't laid since Feb.
 
I have had them lay and set on more than one batch a year.

Depends on the hen. But if she laid in Feb. I would say chances are good. The later in the breeding season usually the less eggs it will take them to catch the broody bug.
