I processed, toned, and completely washed and dried a print tonight and looking at it dry I wish I had toned it longer. Can I re-tone the print after it's been toned once? I understand that I'll have to wet it first and completely wash it again.

This isn't social science, try it. Only you can duplicate the conditions.
Yes, if the print hasn't been toned to completion it should be possible to tone it further. No reason not to try it.
"Only you can duplicate the conditions."
which actually makes it a lot like social science
A dry print can be re-toned; Ansel did it, as I recall reading in one of his books somewhere.
For the record, I retoned the image tonight and it works, but the blacks became very weak. I think I may have reached maximum D-max in the Selenium and it started working the other way. So the print is trashed... should have got it right the first time.
