Historically OTP where shared as physical pads of paper with a different sheet of paper for each message. This is useful as lost messages did not stop communication. If a sheet did not decode the message then try the next sheet.
However, this meant there where leftover bits of each key. Though if you think of each bit as a different key then sure, just start each message with the offset.
