So far as I can see the oil should be good for multiple dips over a long time. If worried about contamination run the remainder from the dip tank through a coffee filter after dipping the hub.
BTW Liters of both oil change oil and cleaning oil for the Rohloff hub run about the same price each. Of course a liter of each of those is enough for about 30 oil changes on the Rohloff hub. It uses 30cc of each for a full oil change.
