Introduction
The Mirror World of Kamen Rider Ryuki is a different world mirrored by our reality. The Mirror World is a left-to-right mirror-flipped copy of the real world, devoid of people and with all text read backwards, similar to the reflection in a mirror. There have been several attempts to contextualize the size of Mirror World in the past, but they have all come up unsuccessful. This time, we have gathered more evidence and scans to give a better explanation of the Mirror World.Also big thanks to @Jamesthetaker help me prepare the thread.
Canoncity of Ryuki
First thing first, I need to note that the Kamen Rider Ryuki canon has several different timelines and stories, other than the TV series. This brings us to the movie specials: 13 Riders, Episode Final, and the novel adaption. There is also the S.I.C Hero Saga, but it's more like a what-if story so I will only use it as supportive evidence.The main question here is how they are all connected. Well, the answer is quite simple: Time Vent, a power that could manipulate time to change history to one's liking.

士郎によって歴史は何度も繰り返されていた!?
ミラーワールドが消滅し、すべてが崩壊。しかし優衣の最後の願いが通じ、士郎によって新しい歴史がもたらされた。だが、様ぎまな情報を検証していくと、歴史は既に何度も繰り返されていたという驚くべき仮説が導き出されるのだ。
ある記録によれば、ライダーたらの戦いは少なくとも3度繰り返されていることになる。今回蓮が最後に生き残った戦いの歴史とは別に、2度、それぞれ少しずつ流れの異なる戦いがあったのだ。一度は、蓮、真司が生き残るも優衣が手首を切って自ら命を絶ってしまうという歴史。そしてもうー度は、蓮が戦いの途中で命を落とし、彼に代わって真司がナイトに変身、戦いを続ける歴史だった。しかし、いずれも真実を知った優衣が、新しい命〃を拒んだため、すべては無効となってしまった。

History was repeated many times by Shiro !?
The mirror world disappears and everything collapses. However, Yui's last wish came true, and Shiro brought a new history. However, examining various information leads to the surprising hypothesis that history has already been repeated many times.
According to one record, the rider's battle has been repeated at least three times. Apart from the history of the last battle that Ren survived this time, there were two battles with slightly different flows. Once, Ren and Shinji survive, but Yui cuts her wrist and kills herself. And again, it was a history that Ren died in the middle of the battle, and Shinji transformed into Knight replace him and continued the battle. However, all of them became invalid because Yui, who knew the truth, refused her new life.
Every time, Shiro started a new history and started the battle again. In addition, Shiro seems to have made other minor historical revisions, such as invoking Odin's Time Vent to repair a torn painting. Despite the fact that Shiro died in an experiment conducted in the United States, it seems that he was confirmed to exist in Japan at the same time was like the distortion caused by the modification. However, there seems to be a flow that Shiro cannot change. Shinji's entry to stop the battle, which seemed to be a coincidence, was actually unwelcome to Shiro, but it was inevitable that he could not change. In the battle where Ren survived, Shiro finally left behind the words, "You ... would surely refuse it...You would continue to refuse it...It is hopeless again,Yui?!Again?...", and a new history has started. It was a world where Yui's wishes came true, there was no battle, and everyone lived happily. However, there is no Yui who has grown up there ...
It seems that it will take more time to clarify the whole picture of how much history was repeated and corrected by Shiro...

(なんでだよ。契約者バトルを仕組んだ奴は死んだんだぞ)
(じゃあ、なぜおれたちは変身できる? なぜミラーワールドが存在する?)

{Ryuki and Knight were facing each other in Mirror World.
There are no stars in Mirror World today. Only a new moon, like a wound, hung over their heads.
The dark intervening space made it impossible to see anything in the surrounding landscape.
Only the masks of the dragon riders and the knight float in the pale moonlight.
(You're going to do it after all, aren't you?)
(Oh, yeah...)
Ryuki asks, and Knight replies.
(Your wish won't come true anymore, you know.)
The two cannot forget the strange incident that occurred immediately after Yui threw herself into the water.
At that time, a black shadow appeared on every mirror in the world and screamed out.
It was a scream that would twist the soul of anyone who heard it.
As if swallowed by the scream it uttered, the shadow warped and vanished. The shadow was dead.
(No, it will come true.)
(Why? The one who initiated the contractor battle is dead.)
(Then how can we still able to transform? How does the Mirror World still exist?)

It's a direct reference to this scene in the Episode Final where Shiro Kanzaki has gone mad, his reflections start to appear on every mirror, and then he dies.
From all of these, we could come to the conclusion that all the specials, movies, TV series, and even the novel are connected in one way or another due to Odin's reseting the timeline. With that canon being explained, we can go to the next part.
Mirror World
This will be the part where we deal with how Mirror World works. To start it off, we get this statement from the 13 Riders special.This statement seems to imply that Mirror World is a 2-A structure, but this can be explained scientifically. Now, if you try to put two mirrors facing each other, the two parallel reflective surfaces bounce a beam of light back and forth for an indefinite amount of time, thus creating an infinity number of reflections. Realistically, only the reflections in the mirrors are infinite.
Does that mean the statement is invalid? It is not, so I want you to note it down because it will be important later.
As I have said before, the Mirror World is a reflection space of the real world. In the novel, the Mirror World is stated to contain a starry sky, constellations, and the sea.

Everything was flipped right from left in that world.
This was most easily observed from the many advertisements and road signs that decorated the city. All the letters and numbers would be inverted.
If anyone were to encounter their loved one within this world, there would be no doubt that they’d instantly feel that something was off about them. The mole positions would be reversed. The hairstyle would be flipped horizontally. The shape of their smiling lips wouldn’t be quite right either.
It wouldn’t be the face of their loved one. If anything, it would be their death mask.
Even the stars would be flipped horizontally. All the constellations would have their sides reversed. That is why you must not look up at the stars in the sky there. You must not determine your position using the stars. You would most definitely lose your way.

I cried for a long time that night, before running out of my aunt’s house. I went to the abandoned amusement park.
If I went to the Hall of Mirrors, I’d be able to meet him again, for sure. There was no way he was dead.
He would still be in the study room, reading. The amusement park was gone when I arrived, leaving a wasteland in it’s wake.
The hall of mirrors was gone. The only thing left of it was a single small mirror. I talked into it, in search of him.
“Come out, big brother! You’re a liar! You said you’d stay by my side!”
I don’t know how long I stayed there.
The sun and moon set several times over until , one night, my reflection in the mirror suddenly changed to that of my brother.
I fell into the mirror.
There, in a world with a starry sky and a wide waveless sea, I found him.

The mirror world does not always accurately reflect reality.

At night, countless stars shine mysteriously like madness.
In the real world, all the constellations that appear in each season are always intertwined and shining in the mirror world.
Takeshi Asakura appeared from the direction of Scorpio. Already transformed into Masked Contractor Ouja, his appearance resembles a cobra with its neck raised to intimidate his enemies.
The king snake rattled his neck and finger bones as he slowly approached his prey ahead.
In order to feed his contracted monster, Raia, the Masked Contractor who defeated the mirror monster, read his fate in the night sky and trembled.
Because his star, which he finally found among his intricate stars, fell.
Ouja slammed a drill-shaped sword - Venosaber at Laia who turned around.
Raia immediately jumped back and countered with Evil Whip.
The whip-shaped weapon stretches out and wraps around the Ouja's neck.

If it was a mirror monster, this blow would have been so powerful that its head would be torn off. However, Ouja is laughing without moving.
(Kuku...you smell like feces)
Raia instantly formed a strategy in his head. At this rate, I draw Ouja and cut off his head with my other weapon—Evil Visor.
When Raia put his strength into it, Ouja used that power to plunge his head into his bosom. Ouja's Venosaber penetrates Raia's abdomen.
(Venosnaker!)
In response to the call, a contract monster, Venosnaker, appears from behind the jumping king snake. A giant serpentine Venosnaker spewed purple venom from its bright red mouth.
(Bake rush!)
That was the name of Ouja's special move. Riding a torrent of toxic liquid like a waterfall, King Snake's kick crushes Laia's body.
Running over to the sprawled Raia, Ouja ripped his intestines out of his ripped belly and threw it out.
(Eat!)
Venosnaker swallowed the intestines that flew up into the starry sky in one bite and disappeared.
(Hey, what are you doing, you)

This means that the Mirror World is effectively the same size as our reality. That is not all, however. The novel itself uses a similar idea of infinity reflection as 13 Rider but they expand it further.

It was the "Labyrinth of Mirrors".
My brother held my hand, turned on the flashlight, and took me through the mirror corridor.
After a short walk, we came to a hall.
The floor, ceiling, and walls were all made of mirrors.
There was a stack of difficult books in the corner, and I imagined that this was my brother's study room.

When my brother spoke, the others in the mirror also spoke with him.
The truth of the mirror.
Inside a mirror is another mirror, then inside that mirror yet another mirror, just like that the mirrors continues infinitely continously reflecting the worlds.
However, If you cross through countless mirrors, descending to the bottom of the bottom of the mirrors, you would find the world changes little by little.
Yui probably threw a stone into the lake, the ripples spread across the surface of the water, reapeatedly and continously warps the scenery in the the said surface.
The same could be said to this situation, however, the worlds inside the mirrors are not just reflections, they are different realities.

These scans corroborate the statement from the beginning that the reflections extend infinitely, thus creating infinite worlds of mirrors.
As I've said above, there is the S.I.C Hero Saga, which has more questionable canon to the timeline, but given the confirmation of an alternate world in Ryuki, it's possible to assume this was another reality taking place inside Mirror World.

Ouja VS Odin.
This is the final battle of the Battle Royale. It is said that any wish of the winner can be fulfilled. Odin's hope is the life of Yui Kanzaki. On the other hand, Ouja's wish is a rider battle that lasts forever.
In fact, the wishes of Ouja have already been granted by Odin. Ouja = Takeshi Asakura himself is not aware of this, but in parallel worlds, Rider Battle seems to be an infinite chain of events. Maybe it's proof that Asakura won the Battle Royale in some parallel space...

This scan stated that the infinite chain of Rider Battles happened across parallel space, which means the battles always continue out there in endless worlds.
TL;DR
The canons of Kamen Rider Ryuki are connected by Odin's Time Vent. The specials, movies, TV series, and novel endings are the result of Odin reseting the timeline to achieve a desired outcome. This is further supported by the writers of Kamen Rider Ryuki, who believe there is consistency among them.The Mirror World is a reflection space of the real world, which has countless stars, constellations, and the sea. Inside the infinite reflections of Mirror World are an infinite number of worlds. Since the Mirror World is supposed to be a mirror-flipped version of our world, this proves that infinite worlds also exist in the real world.
