Welding over an existing weld is common practice. Not sure if there are additional factors that need to be considered such as the type of welding technique (i.e. MIG, Arc) or the type of metal to be welded (e.g. aluminum).

I know American Welding Society has online discussion forums, perhaps look there for a better answer than mine.
