Default Lifting & re-laying laminate flooring

Can laminate flooring be lifted and relaid starting from the corner
where the first bits of laminate were laid?
I haven't done any laminate laying, so don't have a clue.

The problem has arisen due to a fairly major leak in a central heating
pipe. The flooring is newish and was laid starting from one corner, as
one does. Ideally it should all be lifted in reverse order, from the
corner diagonally opposite to this. The leak is near the corner where
the laminate laying was started.

The leak is an old joint (I think) which has started leaking after
power flushing, prior to a new boiler. I can just see it with a
mirror and torch, I can't reach it without lifting the laminate and
floorboards.

So, is it practical to just lift the planks in this corner, or am I
going to bugger up the locking bits?
