may be bent only once
biegber means flexible, but it also means "capable of being bent." If an item can be bent only once, the implication is that it will otherwise become work-hardened and will crack or break if bent again.

anothe possibilty is that only one bend may be made in the item because of space considerations. If this is the situation you would need to translate: only one bend may be made, etc.
