To me an important thing to decide is why you want the jacksoni group in the first place. If you are set on breeding and producing babies for sale I suppose a colony like that would satisfy you. When I think of how jax in the wild would space themselves I can't see more than 1 male and 2 females occupying an area that size. If you hope to create a more "natural" colony for your own entertainment and learning then I feel the relative stress and aggression such a big group would experience would not be worth it. Yes some stress is positive (breeding behavior, competition, and social ranking) and needed for survival, but it would be a very artificial situation that you'll have to watch like a hawk for bullies.
