The mining power can be split in any proportion between the two chains. The new rules may only be followed by a minority, or by the vast majority of the mining power. Let's assume, for example, an 80%-20% split, with the majority of the mining power using the new consensus rules. Let's also assume that the fork occurs immediately after a retargetting period.
