You can launch multiple tasks within the same offer as long as it is in the same launchTasks() call.

All subsequent tasks will be rejected. Also is it kosher to make multiple launchTasks() calls for the same OfferID > or do they have to batched in one launchTasks() call?

A launchTasks() call invalidates the offerId. So yes, you need to batch all your tasks for that offer in the launchTasks() call. Alternatively, you can wait for the remaining resources to be offered again with a different offerId. But if you already have queue of jobs to fit in the offer, I would recommend batching them to save time.
