In theory yes, he can un-suspend his campaign, but I imagine Rubio will hope/instruct his delegates to go for Kasich. You could end up where Kasich has ~700 combined delegates, Cruz maybe 900, and Trump over 1000, and it just turns into a bloodbath.

Problem is any scenario where Trump has 1,000 - 1,100 delegates and gets canned at the convention runs the risk of him running as a third party.

His argument, and its a good one, is that Trump is the people choice (at this point) given how many more votes he has than anyone else. Getting in shady delegate dealings can make a mess for the party.
