Yes, it's common to replace pads multiple times before the rotors are toast. In theory if you treated your rotors perfectly, they'd eventually fail an inspection for being too thin for the service manual's specs as they wear down over time. But usually somewhere around where thin-ness becomes a problem, they're so much easier to affect with heat that you'll feel other damage (uneven thickness / "warped" feel) and know it's time.
