Here is a link to a site where you can check how much finches your cage can take , it measures in inches http://www.finchinfo.com/housing/cage_s ... ulator.php

height is not a crucial factor in figuring out how many finches can you hold in it , as long as it is proportional to the rest of the cage .

A pair of each.... as they will quickly multiply and fill the aviary.

You need to find a non-aggressive pair of Zebra as the width of the aviary is not overly large and therefore they may become very territorial. You can keep many many Bengalese as they are social and will form family groups to rear young.
You could consider perhaps keeping more passive species (so maybe not Zebra) and then I would not house more than 1 or 3 pairs in that aviary if you are planning on keeping and breeding.
If you have 3 pairs you will need an alternative aviary for young.

Technically for aviary breeding the guideline is 1 breeding pair per cubic meter, but if you have more social type birds you can up this a bit and it really does depend on where each claim territory too.

I would not mix zebras and societies - ever.....
