AOB, keep in mind that Amram was the one who chose to separate, because Paroh would kill any baby boys. It was Miriam who told him that by doing so, he was worse than Paroh, since this meant no girls could be born either (which ultimately convinced him to remarry Yocheved). So the separation was not necessarily Yocheved’s choice, and the prospect of having more children wouldn’t stop her from remarrying (and indeed would motivate her to remarry). The question moish asked still stands: How was Yocheved permitted to remarry Amram if she married someone else in between? As kiruvwife noted, this targum is not a universally-held opinion, eilu v’eilu divrei elokim chayim.
