Yes. As long as the DH position exists, a sub can come in the game in the position and the starting DH may reenter in the position. The position only ceases to exist if the fielder being hit for comes to bat or the DH enters the field defensively.

Additonally, the starting DH could re-enter the game and play defensively causing the current DH and the player being hit for to be removed.
