Is it permissible to perform congregational prayer a very short time before the entry of the next prayer's time, or is there a specific time after which the prayer becomes individual?

There is no time after which congregational prayer becomes individual; rather, the entire prayer time is for the congregation. However, praying at the beginning of its time is better, due to the Prophet's (peace be upon him) saying: "Prayer at its appointed time."
