I think you asking to the effect of, "We bought a sheet of carbon fiber thats more then $400. Can we use that one piece of carbon fiber to make many parts?" If that is what your asking, then yes, you can. It would be the same as buying all the carbon fiber seperately for each part. Most teams buy bulk in the sense that they order one 60" piece of Al sq tube instead of four 15" pieces of square tubing. So, as long as you break the carbon fiber into pieces that have an equivalent value or less of $400, then you should be ok. Sorry for being a little wordy there, I thought it was the best way to explain it.
