If you tape when honing (not necessary, but many do) the tape will get chewed up - particularly on lower grit hones. By changing the tape between hones you ensure that you don't wear through the tape, and reduce the amount of gunk that gets onto your hone from the tape being worn away. So what he's saying here is remove that worn piece of tape and replace it with a fresh new piece.
Incidentally even if you did remove the tape entirely after bevel setting, it only take a handful of strokes to address the very slight change in angle. Glen did a video on this recently. I'll see if I can find it for you...
Edit: here you go.
It was in original condition, faded red, well-worn, but nice.
This was and still is my favorite combination; beautiful, original, and worn.
