GMs may use all or part of their Mid Level Exception to sign a player if their team is over the salary cap.
The MLE can be used on multiple players.
The amount of MLE money a team can use resets each season, when the salaries progress to the next season. Previous MLE signings have no impact on the amount a team can spend.
