You would not need a re-entry permit until after the OA visa expires in one year from the date it is issued. It allows unlimited one year entries for a year from the date it is issued. You could do an entry just before it expires and get almost 2 years of total stay form it. After the visa expires you would need a re-entry permit to keep that last entry valid.

There are people have been getting the OA visa for several years back to back without a problem.

Just looking at the Los Angeles consulate:  So I would have to pay $200 for the Visa?  So As you said, it looks like they wrap up and include multi entry with the O-A Visa

 

The visa fee :

$80 for a single-entry , $200 for a multiple-entry - No single-entry for Non-Immigrant O-A Visas

They only issue multiple entry OA visas. At one time they issued single entry visas but nobody wanted them so they dropped them.
