Spacing for Tatume Squash

Just wonder if 3'x5' spacing, or 15 sf. feet, is enough for Tatume squash. First time planting those. I know the vines can be very long, like 10 to 15'. The end space will be like 10'. This is how I spaced my Kabocha pumpkins. This phone is from last year. I think it was even tighter, like 3'x4.5'.

I planted Tatume this year for the first time. I planted 1 in each of the corners of a 7'x7' raised bed with some corn and cowpeas. They're already sprawling all through the corn and cowpeas and out of the bed. I planned for them to grow out but I haven't even gotten flowers yet and they're huge. A couple others I planted and haven't paid much attention to are crawling over my fence. They're flowering now but just started. I'm not sure how much bigger they'll get. How many are you trying to fit in the 3'x5'?
