I would get at least 1 large one per pig, and an extra or two won't hurt; especially if you have a multi-level cage. Make sure each level has water bottles. Congratulations!

Maybe one per pig, but it will depend on the pigs. Do these pigs live together now, and you're getting the whole herd, or are you going to do introductions of strange pigs to each other?

If you're going to introduce them, read Guinea Pigs Social Life -- the introductions section is about half way down.

Are you getting males, or females? Males will need more room in the cage than females.
