I don’t know if BRMS can make concurrent use of multiple tape drives.

Secondly if the expiry of such a tape has passed, will it be possible to restore contents of such a tape?

The expiration of a tape doesn’t affect what can be restored. However, an expired tape can be made available for new saves that will overwrite previous saves — the information may be lost.
