Now I am reading the Portable Hole description from the ADnD DMG p152. It describes the hole as 6’ in diameter and 10’ deep. Now the volume of a cylinder is Pi *r^2 * h = 90 * Pi or approximately 283 cubic feet.
If I was running a game, I would probably allow a folded up Portable Hole to pass through another one. I would not let a second hole be opened in another Portable Hole.
As far as crafting a new hole that was bigger in diameter, I think I would allow it. Now the hole would only be 10’ deep and it would need to be spread out over an area of Pi * r^2. The inside diameter would be the same as the hole’s diameter. If the hole is 20’ in diameter, the occupants would probably have a hard time trying to fold the hole closed.
As how anybody rules this, it is all fiction and make-believe. That is the reason DMs exist to fill in the places the rules don’t explicitly say. I am sure many different people would rule many different ways.
