Well yes, it can, but it requires power. Vast amounts of energy. It’s still about the energy, even in the distant future, because I swear to the prophets, it never ends. It just doesn’t stop not stopping.
If you have Industrial Replicators though, you have the power to power them. Or maybe not, maybe Bajor didn’t have the infrastructure to power them, and Star Fleet sent them with giant, but limited batteries
If you have enough capacity to power 10 you can’t replicate an 11th because that would mean that you would have more replicators than you had capacity.
They had other places in the planet that wanted to use them though, and with how chaotic Bajor was post-occupation, I doubt they had a planetary power grid, so they would have been able to use more
Or replicate the parts needed to assemble an exact copy.

Yeah that would work assuming there isn’t a part that is one single large part. I am thinking like a big side panel or support structure.
I guess you weld parts together after the replication.
