Legal Question in Criminal Law in Pennsylvania

Hypothetical question about Jerry Sandusky case. If he were fo be acquitted after an appeal of all charges from victims 1-10 could state subsequently charge him on victims 11-17 even if no new evidence has been unearthed since the trial? In other words can prosecution hold those cases in their back pocket as a plan B in case the previous charges don't stick?
