Run size for two buns?

Hey guys :)

I always thought the recommended run size for 2 buns was generally 6'X4' (attached to a 6'X2') hutch, but I read recently that it should be 8'X6'!

What do you think? What does the RSPCA recommend? Obviously the bigger the better, but which as a minimum?
 
My rspca requires 48sq ft overall (a 6x2 hutch with 6x6 run attached), but different places have different requirements.
 
My opinion is that 6ft x 6ft is the minimum size for a run for any rabbits. Larger rabbits need more.
 
I have a 6x2 hutch and 6x4 run attachment, it's too small for my pair really, they can't get any speed up in there, so in the daytime they have access to a 6x6 extension. At night time they have the hutch and smaller run (36 square foot) and during the day they have the extension (totalling 72 square foot).
