Once the portal closes it was implied that it has to reopen by the same amount of people coming back Just the one portal or the whole hat? The portal. Like when Jefferson and Regina went into the hat and through the portal to Wonderland, he warned her of the hat's rule in needing the same amount of people to go into a world would also have to be the same amount of people leaving the world. It has never been clarified when Jefferson took Dr. Frankenstein to the Enchanted Forest and then back to the Land Without Color if that, too, needed to have the same amount of people going to and from a world. However, it is plausible the "same amount of people" rule applies to all the worlds accessed through the hat. I remember Jefferson, when explaining the rule to Regina, said it was the "hat's rule" that could imply it is a rule that stands no matter what world is traveled to.
