那如果你还是觉得不完美,你又要写一次吗?

Based on the grammar point lesson that follows, I think I could replace 又 here with 再. So would it be correct to say that both 又 and 再 can be used for present and future, but only 又 can be used for the past?

Yes but it's usually placed a little differently. It would be more common to say "你要再写一次吗"

the writing's imperfect; I again wrote it once.

那如果你还是觉得不完美,你又要写一次吗?

That: if you still think it's imperfect, you again want to write once more huh?
