Do we know for a fact that de-corporealized Voldemort came with Bella? If he came with the DoM crowd (in addition to the royals), that might explain why more hands were needed? Also, in addition to deteriorating mental condition, I think Rookwood is also suffering from deteriorating physical condition. I just figured that they wanted to be really sure that all the rite elements, particularly the royals for warding, would be in the right place at the right time and didn't want to take chances. That said, it could be something more intriguing as well, especially given that Rookwood has apparently lost control of his department.
