A full schedule of Synagogue services is possible with only a single Torah scroll.
But as a practical matter, it's more considerate of the worshipers attending the services if there are
two or three Torahs available.
The reason is that there are occasions during the year when the prescribed reading consists of
selections from two or three non-contiguous parts of the scroll. It's considered an inconvenience
to the congregation if they must be asked to wait while the scroll is rolled from one portion to
another, and it's preferable if multiple scrolls are used, with each one pre-rolled to the appropriate
selection for the occasion.
