First of all, prudence would dictate housing all the newcomers separately, and away from your other animals.
But to more directly answer your question, not knowing the sizes of the various snakes makes it ndifficult to say, and, regardless, there are a couple of options.
- Throw the 2 males and the breedable female in together, and separate the two nonbreeding females. The presence of another male can stimulate breeding interest. I have never bred BCI, personally, so I cannot address concerns about possible combat...though I don't recall anybody saying they had a major issue with it (unlike some python species)
- If the size of the breedable snakes make housing them together a hassle, house 1 breedable pair together, the other male singly (can rotate them in and out of the breeding cage, as long as you are sure all 3 are healthy), and the two nonbreeding females together (again, size difference may be a concern here).
- Purchase or make housing for another snake. House one pair together, and separate the others.
Of course, there is something to be said for not taking snakes you aren't prepared to house.
