Max Amount Of Sows In A 2x5?

I have three small girls in a 5x2 and I want to extend! (It's slow work persuading the OH!) I certainly wouldn't have more than 3 in one.
 
What about 2 and like 3 babies or something?
Only temporarily, I wouldn't keep 5 pigs in a space that small, any boy babies would need to be moved at 3 weeks old anyway.
Babies don't stay small for long and need extra space to run around
 
I tend to agree with the others.
I had 3 in my 5 x 2 with a 1 x 2 loft, and I felt that it was pretty full, and ended up extending (and then adding another pig, which probably cancelled out at least half of the extension!).
 
Definitely wouldn't have more than 3 sows in a 2x5. I did temporarily have 5 sows in a 5x3 but even found this too small :(
