Once a minor faction enters expansion, does it cause it to lose a lot of influence? If not, is it possible to trigger back to back expansions?
BGS question, back to back expansions?

You lose some influence during the expansion, but if you could get it up to 75% in the first place you can keep pushing it a bit during the expansion so your net loss is zero, and continue to meet requirements for another one.
The "recovering" for expansion lasts a few days, as does the "pending", so there's a limit to how close you can pack them together. Looks like 7 days non-expansion between the two expansions is the minimum, and can't easily be shortened.
You can however shorten the expansion itself by interrupting it with a War or Election - that can then take (best case) 0 days rather than the usual 5 or 6. Of course, you then have to conclude the conflict before you can do much of anything else.
You lose 15% influence.
That could be a lot or nothing depending on the system. The higher population the system has, the harder it is to move back up. Generally anything below 100M, the 15% loss you suffered should be 1-3 days worth of effort to get back to 75%.
Now...when you break the point where you enter systems with billions of population, it will take longer than that.
