Let's not forget that according to the lore, It's one breeding male to 10-50 females in a Seeker tribe on average, depending on size.
Miqo'te are all over the place in Eorzea, despite being the least populous race of the five major ones. Not to mention that the females are way more populous, and the males more rare.
It wouldn't be unreasonable to believe that there could be more nuhn than there are tia in a given tribe, and much more genetic diversity and reasoning for promoting a tia to a nuhn.
So while in order to become a nuhn, a tia has to conquer a nuhn, there could be plenty of space in a tribe for many tia to replace older nuhn, or for a tia who has proven himself to become a nuhn to a population of tribal females.
As long as we're talking about what is practical rather than what is strictly described to us in the lore, this is a practical possibility. There could also be incest involved, particularly in smaller tribes, if only because males are rare across the board. Maybe different tribes handle things differently, though it would be troublesome to make presumptions about tribal conventions.
For now it may not be a bad idea to gloss over the messier details until more of us are able to see the world and the various tribes and the way they behave. SE has stated that they intend to explore a lot of these issues through quests and events. So it's just a matter of time before we know for certain.
