Comatose doesn't explain it, she has had her name and memories eaten/destroyed, she is effectively dead. Even if she wakes up, it won't be Rem but a blank slate that has no sense of identity. My bet is that she's gone for good, the original Rem only exists in Subaru's memories. Killing the Bishop won't reset the memories consumed, they are gone (unless Subaru's Witch Factor stores the information, which I'm betting it won't). At best they find a way to transfer his memories of her and she ends up trying to rebuild a personality based on that and just pretends to be the Rem he remembers (kinda in the same way Touma from the Index series just pretends he's fine, while in reality he's a complete amnesiac making it up from how people talk to him).
