My sister lives in another state. She says that her water bed is
leaking around a patch that was done earlier.

I think the patch originally stopped the leak, but is now leaking
again.

Would it be better to try to remove the old patch and then patch the
area again or just patch over the patch?

What would make removing the old patch easier?

Thanks for your time

Once upon a time, as a child, I used to put patch upon patch on bicycle
tyres and learnt about the futility. Time to dispose/ recycle.

Reading how Bar's Leaks work, it would seem to me not suited for
waterbed.

One web pages says........
convenience. When Bar's Leaks is added to the cooling system, the
pellets quickly dissolve under heat and circulation, releasing tens of
thousands of individual Rhizex Particles which continually circulate
in suspension throughout

I would be interested if someone has actually successfully tried this,
though.

I think (hope?) it was a joke.

A patch attached with aquaseal or urethane caulk might work better to fill the
gap that would normally result where patch covers the old patch edge.
