Plenty. If you can refer to them all pretty thoroughly you're doing well.
Wouldn't use them all in the exam mind you. You're better off choosing the few that apply to the question best, or the ones you are most confident with.

But yes, that's plenty. It's good to have a thorough understanding of a number of historians, and then use that as a knowledge base that you can draw from when you actually get into the exam.

You know plenty, the question will more than likely ask to only make close reference to one or two, so just pick the ones you are most confident with or which more suit what the question is asking.

I do still think it pays to go beyond two obviously, because it allows you to generate a much greater level of depth to your argument by demonstrating differences in historiography over time .
