Do you mean for the mould? The actual layup of the mould can be exactly the same as the video shows, no need to change anything. You will probably need to bag it in the same fashion as well, so you don't need to make the flanges bigger except where you need to place the infusion connectors. 

Infusion isnt going to be an ideal process though, you'll need plenty of spray adhesive to position everything and then resin is going to go everywhere and leave your mould covered with very sharp shards on the outside. Removing the mesh afterwards will be difficult too, though not impossible. For a one off it will work.

you said it will only work for one.you mean i wouldnt be able to use again this mould for making another part?
