How many cans it takes depends on the isolation of each can at your operating frequency.
Well, now what you said makes more sense, but a 500kc split is really close. Can't you run a 1meg or larger split in your area? Your filters probably don't have steep enough skirts to do any good at that close of spacing. You can set the loops for max loss and the notches will be the narrowest but then your losses through the filters will be greater. Be sure you use a good double shielded cable between the radio and the notches so the signal doesn't leak in at that point. I'm running 600kc spacing on two meters with a Mitrek but the filters take up most of the rack. They're 2 per side and they are about 10 inches across and 30 inches high.
