Re-applying the after expiration does not have an impact on application's approval. The "penalty" is in the process of starting again. (Make sure you download your application frequently so you can re-create it if necessary.)
My PMP Application has expired but I still I have an option to continue where I left off. Is it advisable to re-continue the same application or start a new one? Does it have any impact on your application approval?
