Shimano chain rivets not reusable?

I replaced the chain on my 105 10x3 speed road bike with a 5600 Shimano chain. I used the special pin that came with the chain to attach it, but the chain was too short, so I legthened it by adding an extra piece of chain. For this I popped out and reused one of the pins.

Is this a bad idea on this type of chain? If so, what should I do in cases like this? Buy unused rivets?

Thanks,

Nick
