I would put 2 plants in there, and learn how to LST to take advantage of your width, and lack of your height. You could veg for 5-6 weeks if you train them sideways... will get quite a big harvest.

starting from seed i would grow 3 and top them then tie them sideways with strings, making most use of every squared inch, veg 5-6 weeks depending on their size, they more than double in size in flowering, to get 3 females with regular seeds you need to plant like 5-6 then chose the best 3 fems then flower them. there are great tips to get a very high female to male ratio look them up they work great...

SOG you need clones to do it, so you can flower the first batch of seeds chose and grow the best mother then clone it. you will need like 4-5 weeks maybe more to have sexually mature plants that can flower and clones need 3-4 weeks to have enough roots, probably more. dont focus on SOG focus on decent harvest in quickest time from start to end. you will need some experience to perfect a SOG system, and if it's for personal use you would not need it if you make good use of that light ;)
 
been running the same size box just without the cooltube. your set up is going to depend on what plants you can get your hands on. sounds like you are going to use seed. for your space you are not going to want more that 4 from seed and id top and lst to fill the box side to side rather than having them tall. garentee you will outgrow your height if you dont top and train. ive done it. if you want to go for quicker turn around then go sog but as stated before you need clones to do this. i run 9 plants sog and keep everything under 18inches(250 light doesnt get dense buds over 18in) so flower by 6in i strip the lower 6in and wala usually doin about 3/4oz per bout every 8weeks give or take on strain. the good news is if you have good seeds then id try to get 5 females and keep the best one for a mom and stick it under some CFL's learn to clone and you will have more cuttings than what you will know what to do with. then play away with what works for you.
