As stated, the question is overly obvious; the world can be destroyed only once because once it is destroyed, there is nothing left to be destroyed, right? How many times could the same ceramic dish be shattered? More than once, but only if you are willing to glue it together again, and if the whole world were to be shattered, there would be no one left to glue it together again (unless you are expecting aliens from outer space to take an interest).

However, you might have been thinking of the principle of overkill, that the nuclear arsenals of the world contain more weapons than would be needed to destroy the entire world. At a rough guess, the total inventory of nuclear weapons in the world is sufficient to destroy a dozen worlds at least (if we had a means of getting to other worlds, of course). But the Earth can be destroyed only once.
