Im thinking of building a 4ftx4ft flight thats 2ft deep....if i design it so i can split it down the middle to make 2ftx2ft and place mesh down the middle so everyone can see everyone would that 2ft be roomy enough for a pair if Javas or do i need to go bigger?

Definitely go with the longer version. At least 4' wide and 2' tall.
