If May was able to get the DUP and EGR onboard, how likely is it she'd make up the required numbers to get her deal passed a third time?

A leaked diplomatic note has revealed that the EU is war gaming as its expectation is that the UK's MP's will vote down May's deal for a third time, the country will ask to extend Article 50 and May will be forced out of her role as PM. The EU is attempted to safeguard May's Deal so that any replacement PM cannot undo the deal once in post.

Boris says it's absurd to attempt a third vote on May's Deal without attempted to get further concessions at the EU Summit later this week.
Rees-Mogg says that if the UK fails to carry out Brexit he doesn't believe the UK will ever be allowed another opportunity to attempt it

Rees-Mogg is wrong. There's nothing (currently) in article 50 that stipulates it can't be invoked again if it was rescinded. To prevent such a thing it would need to be rewritten and agreed by all member states and we'd be able to veto it if we didn't like the rewrite. Goodwill politically for invoking it again would certainly hit rock bottom (though that's happened already), but legally speaking there's nothing in there which says it's single use only. It's actually quite plainly written for a legal article.
Rees-Mogg is often wrong, or rather, deliberately seeding doubt. He's a right F.U.Der.

This morning Mogg has denied that he has made money due to Brexit.
A senior member of the DUP has predicted that if the DUP changes its position and backs May's Deal in a third vote this week, the deal will still fail to find enough support to pass due to the number of Tory rebels.
