How many times did the vacuum needed to be emptied when all the hay was
removed?

Four bales of hay behind the front seats?
The problem is that "bale" is virtually meaningless. A large square
bale is 3 x 3 x 8; I sincerely doubt that more than 2 could be gotten
into a Prius without unbaling the hay. A large round bale is 4 x 4, and
is too big to get into a Prius, regardless. Many smaller sizes of bale
are made, of course. 2 x 2 x 4 seems to be a common smaller bale, as it
is possible handle one manually.

Probably hayseed-sized and quality bales from Home Depot...

Well, this is an illustration of how much you have without the seats
folded:
http://fuelzilla.com/gardening-with-toyota-prius/
With seats folded you add to the total volume at least twice as much. I
would venture a guess that you would overload the suspension/engine before
you run out of space carrying anything but cotton balls or maybe empty
carton boxes which I did a lot during my recent move. I basically moved
the entire household on a Prius (sans furniture and appliances of course)
