I use 36" x 28" for each adult corn.
It's personal choice how much room to give an animal.
The more room you give them to move, the more exercise they get which I suspect is good for them in terms of muscle structure, not becoming obese and is less likely to cause females problems during egg laying season.
Many people use plastic storage tubs, usually in rack systems, so they can tell you what sizes they find work best for them.

An animal (especially a 'wild' one) would probably want to be as confined as a human would. If you think about it, they do not live in small boxes in the wild (more of a resting place, rather than a living place 
) Cornsnakes in particular are fairly active snakes and will tend to use whatever room you give them. I would think that an enclosure less than two feet long for an adult corn would definately be on the small side, seeing as they can grow to over twice that length.
I believe that larger enclosures are fine, it's when you give the animal all that room and not enough hides and cage 'furniture' to make the animal feel more secure. They (understandably) dislike being in open spaces.
