Can I apply for multiple bridge work permits?

Usually the bridge work permit is issued based on the processing time of your PR application.

For example, QSWC processing times usually extend to 24 months or more. Therefore, to ensure that applicants do not have to submit multiple work permit extensions, the duration for the initial BOWP is 24 months or passport validity, whichever is shorter.

Extensions, if needed, should be issued for 12 months.

So yes, you can apply to extend your bridge work permit.
