I am in the process of getting another guinea pig and was wondering if a 3x5 bottom with an upper deck about half that size would be ok.

A 3x5 bottom with a loft is big enough for about 6 pigs. Don't forget to quarentine the new pig for 3 weeks before introducing to the other(s)!

A 3x5 is enough space for 4 or 5 pigs. It should be fine.

I would say no more than 5-6 pigs in a 3x5 cage. A 3x5 is just one grid larger than a 2x7.
