I don't think you understand how RAM works, it is not a load bearing device ;) If you have enough free, you can run another server without any problem (at least as far as the RAM part is concerned). You gain no benefit running it half full, then you are just wasting half your RAM. It's like only filling your gas tank half way everytime you fill up, don't make you get any noticeably better gas mileage does it? When you get to 90% used then you should worry about upgrading. You can likely run a 5th, 6th and 7th server without maxing out the RAM.
My advice, try it out and see if it works without any lag or other issues. That is really the only sure way to know how many servers you can run.
