If they maintain all of their new members and stay above total is there any situation in which they can extend bids to new members for the rest of the school year, or are they required to wait until the following fall formal to take anyone? I assumed that they couldn't but as I looked over the green book I couldn't find anything hard and fast to support that. I apologize if it's a silly question, I'm just on a continual quest to understand the ins and outs of NPC formal.

No, they may not offer more bids. They may take up to total, or up to quota, whichever is higher. If they get quota additions, there could be a few extra, but the only way to go over total is through formal recruitment.
(NB: There are a few campuses that do a bid match for informal recruitment in the semester in which they don't have FR. I think that chapters can go over total in these situations, but they are a) very rare, and b) essentially a second FR, if panhellenic is doing the bid matching.)
