I've only ever processed one roll at a time. I'm going somewhere this weekend and plan on taking 5 rolls of 120 and 1 roll of 35mm.
All HP5 except for one fine grained film, like the ilford pan 50.
The 35mm roll I plan on processing it as normal with rodinal.
2 rolls of 120 pushed to 800 (microphen maybe?) for indoors without a flash.
2 rolls of hp5 processed as normal. and
1 roll of pan 50

Question is what can I reuse? How would you handle a situation like this.

I'd imagine I could reuse the stop-bath and fixer without a problem.
 
All your chemistry has it's capacity for a given amount somewhere on the label. For more info seek out the manufacturer's website. All chemicals are reusable to some extent.

Indicator stop turns purple when it's exhausted.

Use hypo-check to see when your fixer is no good.

Follow the manufacturer's recommendation for how many rolls you can get out of a quart of dev, or whatever quantity your tank is.
