The Unamericans came together as Lance Storm and Christian as a tag team with Test, and then split with Storm and William Regal as a new duo.

I have an interesting case: the FBI, Full-Blooded Italians. They started as a tag-team of JT Smith and Little Guido, slowly added temporary members to become a stable, devolved into a tag-team at the tail-end of the original ECW. Started back up with the WWE's ECW and did the same thing. (Also did the same thing in TNA.) The one constant was Little Guido/Nunzio. As long as he was involved, there was always some sort of FBI. Technically, it started as Smith and Val Puccio. Then Puccio left and J.T. was on his own which was when he started amping up the Italian gimmick. Then Guido came after that.

Does anybody get the vibe that the WWE is doing this with The Wyatt Family. They had Bray beat Jericho by himself, gave Harper and Rowen a different theme and a feud that Bray had no part of.
On topic the Hart Dynasty is one, started with Tyson, Smith, Nattie, and Teddy Hart. Teddy got fired and I think they phased Nattie out then broke them up 2 weeks later.

Really long-term and federation spanning example- The Faces of Fear in WCW were the last remnants of The Heenan Family.

The Brood. That would work, no? If you just mean Edge & Christian, I suppose, but then again, The Hardys aligned themselves with Gangrel and they called themselves "The NEW Brood."

PLus the FBI tag team featured in WWECW was after Nunzio, Stamboli and Palumbo had a version of the stable on Smackdown.

I was confused as a returning fan in 2000 to discover that D-X was just a tag-team consisting of some white guy with cornrows and 1-2-3 kid with a beard. I'd kind of heard in the background it was a bigger deal and had something to do with Shawn Michaels and even Mike Tyson.

Midnight express started as a tag team with Condrey and randy rose, then became a stable with Norvell Austin, then de-evolved into a tag team with Condrey and Eaton.

Would Davey Boy Smith taking the "British Bulldog" name as a singles wrestler count?

Yeah, X-Pac and Road-Dogg basically continued D-X as a face tag team from the time Triple H, Chyna and Billy Gunn split in early 1999 to the point where they regrouped in late 1999. What I always found interesting is that X-Pac usually wore red and black during this time instead of green and black, paralleling the face version of the nWo.
Speaking of the nWo, you can make a very labored case that the nWo Wolfpack (the heel version that realigned after the Fingerpoke of Doom and took over from the Black and White as the primary version) continued through various forms over the Summer of Suck up through Russo and Ferrera's initial tenure and reformation into the Black and Silver. Kevin Nash technically never stopped wearing nWo shirts up until his "retirement" at Road Wild '99 against Hogan, and he was aligned with Sid Vicious and Rick Steiner during this time (and Rick Steiner had briefly worn the nWo colors after re-teaming with Scott Steiner in May). After Nash was gone for two months, the Vicious/Steiner tag team continued until Nash came back with Hall and turned on Sid. The Outsiders would still wear their shirt that had a tiny nWo logo on during this time, up until they reformed the group with Hart, Jarrett and Scott Steiner.

Didn't 8-Ball and Skull outlast Chainz and Crush as DOA members? Another Gang Warz stable, the Truth Commission started as a stable of Kurrgan, Sniper, Recon and Tank and then lost tank before Kurrgan and their manager Jackyl turned on them, leaving Sniper and Recon as a tag team called Apocalypse for all of one show.

And if I'm reading Wikipedia correctly, two of Los Boriquas are currently reunited as a tag team.
Two more possibles, but someone better than I would know for sure - Adnan's Army in the AWA *may* have ended with just Teijo Khan and Soldat Ustinov as a team, and the Florida-based House of Humperdink *may* have ended with just the Shock Troops (Ed Gantner and Kareem Muhammad) as members.
