Just to give you a bit more info. This is for my shed. Not the house. I just picked up the glazing and am going to mount it into a wooden frame
Apologies I often leave crucial info out of my statements.

If it's a single pane of glass, crack on.
If it's a double glazed unit, look carefully around the edges, where the sealant bonds the spacer bar and two the two panes together. Well stuck sealant should look like a black mirror. If there's any bits that look dull, it has failed. Price up a replacement and weigh up the cost/inconvenience of replacing it when iits full of condensation.A new double glazed unit with 4mm Float glass would be about £50 per square metre as supply only. Available in whatever size and overall thicknesses suits your needs.

If that's taking the double glazed sealed unit out and repurposed in a new wooden frame.
Yes you can, but don't!
An old unit seal could fail when you release the compression of the glazing beads. Would you want to redo the glazing in a years time.
Without the constraints of the old glass size, you would probably have a thinner frame profile and more viewing glass. It would also make the frame easier to make.
Make the frame to fit the hole.
Get glass made to fit the frame.
