Default How many European style hinges to use

We have refinished our cabinets, and I am using European style hinges
to put the doors up. Unfortunately, these doors only have a 1/4"
overlay, but I have found the proper hinges to use locally (near
Atlanta).

My question is, how many hinges should I use for each door? Variety
seemed to be the theme for these doors, as they come in many varied
sizes. Examples include:

(Height/Width) Approximate
40" x 12"
40" x 13.5"
18" x 11"
21" x 15"
21" x 18"

I am thinking of using three hinges on the tall doors and two on the
shorter (less than 22") doors. DOes that make sense?

Thanks,
Jon
