Is this big enough space?

So I plan on moving my girls to a different space. I just wanted to know if this would be enough space for them. I'm going to move them to my closet and set that up for them It's 43 inches across and then 28 inches deep. I have 2 right now and I'm thinking of getting a third one but I want to make sure this would be big enough for the 2 I already have.
 
I think this is probably just under the recommended size for two? (120cm x 60cm) maybe the extra depth would make up for the lack of length? Someone with better math may be able to help with that, but it certainly isn’t big enough for three pigs
 
This is from the Cage Size Guide:
1-2 guinea pigs: 2x4 ft (120x60 cm) or 8 ft square = 2x3 C&C grid cage; if you can, please consider a 2x4 grid cage instead as it is the minimum recommendation
3 guinea pigs: 2x5 ft (150x60 cm) or 10 ft square = 2x4 C&C grid cage; strongly recommended for 2 guinea pigs
4 guinea pigs 2x6 ft (180x60 cm) or 12 ft square = 2x5 C&C grid cage, recommended for 2 boars or 3 sows or 1 neutered boar/2 sows
Your closet is around 8.4 square feet, which is around the bare minimum for two female piggies. If you are adding another piggy you need to move them to a larger enclosure.
I hope that this helps! :)

It does thank you so much! I wasnt 100% set on getting a third pig I was thinking about but since I only have enough room for two ill keep them as they are.
 
The bare minimum for two pigs is 24x48" or 1152 sq in. Your cage is currently 1204 sq in, which is just above the minimum. I'd strongly suggest sticking with two piggies.
 
Hi and welcome. Your cage is unfortunately below the recommended minimum. Depending on what your setup is, you could expand it by perhaps setting up a play pen around it that they have access to 24/7.
