The Instancing is dynamic even in normal Space, unsure of its radius. It was mentioned in some very old Dev Livestream. 40-50km? Unsure, forgot.
They also explained why and how Instances involving i.e. the SRV were a little different, how Speed mattered and stuff.
So if you take a break i.e. 490km from a Hotspot Center and another Miner just happens to travel your way from that Center - eventually you'll get instanced dynamically (within the P2P limitations) - just as well as you'd get de-instanced again if the Distance to the other Player increases beyond a certain limit again.
Chances of this happening is quite low due to the distances - but should you operate i.e. in one of the more famous Double-Painite Hotspots, the chances aren't so bad actually.
I kinda assume that the question comes from "I take several breaks during bigger Mining sessions but don't want to log to Menu because of NPC spawns after re-logging".
It's a tradeoff, especially in Open. But chances of another Miner detecting your Ship AND going Hostile for no need (more than enough Asteroids after all) seems very low to me.
In such cases, likely best to avoid moving on a line directly from one Hotspot center to another, rather offset it by >100km to be on the safe side.

It's dynamic. I was RES hunting once and a wing of Corvette + friends passed through and disappeared, blasting stuff. The weird winds of the internet blew them into my instance and took them away again. It was surreal, like watching one of those scifi moments where different realities collide temporarily.
Actually my question comes from me searching for other players in a very well known and used location for double painite mining.
I searched between the two hotspots in the overlapping zone last night for well over 5hrs.
I found nobody while travelling, I had the bandwidth monitor on and it never showed me entering another players instance.
I would like my SC scanner in range in Normal space
That could just be them dropping from SC into your instance rather than them travelling in normal space and being moved from one instance into your instance.
Nope. They were in the middle of a full on wing fight when they phased into my instance. They didn't just drop in and start one. And they left the same way, they didn't jump out. One sec I was minding my own biz, waiting for the next pirate, next a massive furball rolled though, then it was gone without trace.
