In other words, if I change the number of partitions, can I restart the brokers one at a time so that I can continue processing data?
Changing the # of partitions is an online operation and doesn't require restarting the brokers. However, any other configuration (with the exception of a few operations) that requires a broker restart can be done in a rolling manner.
