Is Genie Plus only good for one day?

The Genie+ upgrade can be purchased and used daily, which is great if you only want to use it on the first day of your trip, for example. My husband and I usually add Genie+ to our tickets when we go on weekends, and it's a good strategy depending on when you're visiting.

On the Disney Genie+ Service webpage that I linked, it does indicate that on average guests experience about two to three attractions per day with Lightening Lanes using Disney Genie+ Service.

Yes! While you can't book more than one Genie+ reservation at once, you can hold multiple Genie+ reservations at a time by utilizing the 120 Minute Rule. This is called Genie+ stacking. You are also able to have both a Genie+ reservation and an Individual Lightning Lane entrance at the same time.

The Genie 120-minute rule says that you can make a new reservation at most 2 hours from when you made the last one, and this countdown timer doesn't change if you modify the reservation. If you made it at, say, 11 a.m., then your two hours will be up at 1 p.m. even if you modify the reservation at noon.

I recommend keeping the number of tickets linked to a given account to about 10 or fewer. As far as theme park reservations go, it is OK to book multiple reservations to cover all of your party. As long as everyone has the same starting park on the same dates, you can all enter the parks together just fine.
