masterful,
Breba are figs that form from embryonic figs that did not develop on last years branches, usually referred to as "last years wood". Usually only one fig develops at each leaf node, there are cultivars that may have multiple figs (twins) at several leaf nodes but its usually the exception.
Figs never grow back at old leaf nodes, but new branches do, and they will produce figs. That's why maintaining a pruning schedule and shape will provide a larger supply of figs, by pruning to produce (induce) new branches.
