Default Bulkheads, how close?

How close can I safely put bulkheads? I'm thinking 2 more 3/4" bulkheads in my overflow. But there's not alot of room. Heres a pic. The large hole is for a 1.5" bulkhead, and the small one is 3/4" I was thinking 2 more 3/4 inbetween the 2 allready there, like this

Think there would be enough room? Bottom of tank is on Pink Styrofoam to support the weight
