If it's not wide enough just shoot half the twins and clone the rest in. No-one will ever know. You need to figure at the dimensions of the space they're occupying, and the height of the cherry picker, then try some experiments. There is also a formula for working out what focal length to use - I'll see if I can find it again. The other photographer has been quite clever by arranging the people in a trapezoid shape, with longer rows as you move from foreground to background, to try and compensate for the distortion. Rather like the annoying adverts they paint on sports fields during televised events.
