I'm not sure I understand the question. I think you are asking if the stalk
is assembled from separate pieces.
I assume it was likely cast as an assembly - a metal tube or rod placed in a
jig then the plastic molded around the metal. Would it be possible to
disassemble it to replace just one section? I don't know. The metal rod/tube
is likely to have some barbs or perhaps holes to allow the plastic to make
an eternal grip.
Which end of yours is damaged? If the pivot end then I'd try to find a
replacement. If the plastic 'handle' then it could likely be repaired. An
epoxy can be used to build up any damage then files/sandpaper/paint can make
it look as good as new. Google 'steering wheel repair' for some ideas on how
this is done.

Saw your posting to the Alfa BB on the headlight switch rebuild. Great
write-up! One question - do you know if the wiper stalk is screwed into
the
pivot or welded? It looks like it is welded (or cast as one piece) from
the
photos since I can see any threads on the stalk as it enters the pivot.
The
reason I ask is because the plastic end of the wiper stalk on my '89
Spider
is damaged. So I need to know if I can replace just the stalk or have to
replace the entire combination switch.
Thanks,
Charlie
