In an ideal situation you will have

A minimum of eight feet of stage depth (more if you have a large room) and
A minimum of four-six feet of stage width for each player
If you have four (or more) performers then you might want width as above and stage depth at least 50%-75% of the width. The farther apart the players are, the more you will want some depth behind you everyone can hear one another.

Examples (minimums - width x length):

Two performers: 8' x 8'
Four performers: 16' x 8'
- Minimum: Width: 4 x 4' = 16' Depth 50% of Width = 8'
- Better: Width: 4 x 6' = 24' Depth 50% of Width = 12'
Six performers: 24' x 12'
- Minimum: Width: 6 x 4' = 24' Depth 50% of Width = 12'

This makes for a tolerable stage, you will probably want a little more room, but you should be able to make this work.
