Something like this might work for you:

$vpnName = "MyVPN";

[array]$vpns = Get-VpnConnection |
            Where-Object {$_.Name -Like "*$vpnName" -AND $_.ConnectionStatus -eq "Connected"}

if ($vpns.count -eq 1){
    rasdial $vpnName /DISCONNECT
}
else{
    Write-Host "Multiple, or no, ($($vpns.count)) VPN connections match '$vpnName'"
    $vpns.Name
}
