No, VCs generally don't recycle their wins. A VC fund is at it's heart a company that is expected to live for ten years; first raising capital, then investing the capital, and then spending it's final years collecting the proceeds of the exits, as the successful investments get acquired or IPO.
Note: VC firms will have many different funds, each with different origination years, so while the fund might last a very long time, the individual funds are not supposed to remain illiquid forever.
