It is permissible to make up for missed remembrances (adhkar), whether few or many. There is no harm in seeking forgiveness (istighfar) any number of times, as it is a righteous deed and a prescribed form of remembrance. Allah commanded it through the tongue of Noah (peace be upon him), and the Prophet (peace and blessings of Allah be upon him) encouraged its abundance.
