These files are somewhat independent from each other.

copletdata is global and defines all the portlets available to be used.

copletinstancedata defines all the portlet instances (You define multiple
instances of portlets defines in copletdata if you wish).  This can be a
default or particular to a role or user. The portlets referenced must be
defined in the copletdata.

layout defines the pages and where the portlet instances appear on them. 
The layout can be a default or particular to a user or role.  portlet
instances referenced in the layout must exist in the copletinstancedata.

If you have one copletinstancedata then, in theory, any user can access
any of the instances. However, that is actually hard to do unless the
user's layout refers to the instance.

In the end, how you manage these is really up to how you want your site to
behave.
