Commentary for Pesachim 8:4

הַמַּמְנֶה עִמּוֹ אֲחֵרִים בְּחֶלְקוֹ, רַשָּׁאִין בְּנֵי חֲבוּרָה לִתֵּן לוֹ אֶת שֶׁלּוֹ, וְהוּא אוֹכֵל מִשֶּׁלּוֹ, וְהֵן אוֹכְלִין מִשֶּׁלָּהֶן:

If one [of the company] numbered others together with him for his portion [without the knowledge of the company], the members of the company are permitted to give him his (portion). He eats of his and they eat of theirs. [They are permitted to tell him: "Take yours and leave, and you and your friends eat," the members of the company not desiring so many individuals in their midst. (This tanna holds that one Pesach may be eaten in two companies)].
