The Torah doesn't have to be written consecutively. If a word is erased in the middle, it may be rewritten without rewriting the earlier verses (B'er Heitev, Yoreh Deah 288:2).

However, a misspelling of the tetragrammaton (YHVH) in Hebrew requires the scribe to throw out that entire piece of parchment and start again. An entire piece of parchment can be anywhere from 3-7 columns of the Torah, which has a few thousand columns. Nobody has ever had to throw out a whole Torah in the midst of writing it.
