You only go through once. Then just go to your next gate.

Depending on your arrival time, you may find passport control very congested with what feels like 10,000 people, as a lot of flights arrive at KEF around the same time. Many of these people have a short connection so the mood can be stressful. Unless your arriving flight is very tardy, you very likely have plenty of time to transfer as they move a LOT of people through that tiny place every day.
Here is some info about transferring: https://www.icelandair.com/support/pre-flight/connecting-at-keflavik/
If you have time, you might want to grab a bite to eat (assuming you're on Icelandair, their food is...lacking): https://www.kefairport.com/restaurants?location=A+Gates

Your plane may park on the tarmac, and you'll be bussed to the terminal. That happened on our SEA to KEF flight April 28. The walk through the airport and Passport Control went quickly. KEF has no problem getting passengers to their next flight in an hour under normal circumstances.
