You'll probably get a lot of different opinions on this. For a pair of adult malis, I would look at no smaller than 5' x 2' floor space with at least two basking spots, hides, and feeding spots. Give as much space as you have room for.

Of course the stock answer is: As much space as possible.

5'x2' would be plenty of room, but you definitely should have two of everything to (hopefully) reduce squabbles.
