Reach Spell is a metamagic action that you use as a part of casting a spell. You can use it as often as you like, with any spell that qualifies.
So you could reach spell an Acid Splash every turn for an entire combat if you wanted to. Mostly the only thing stopping you is needing to do something other than casting a spell on a given turn.
Edit:
Actions with the metamagic trait, usually from metamagic feats, tweak the properties of your spells. You must use a metamagic action directly before Casting the Spell you want to alter. If you use any action (including free actions and reactions) other than Cast a Spell directly after, you waste the benefits of the metamagic action. Any additional effects added by a metamagic action are part of the spell’s effect, not of the metamagic action itself.
That being said there are examples of Metamagic actions that can only be used a limited number of times. Quickened Casting for example has a frequency of once per day.
Reach spell doesn't have that restriction.
