2 Should do it if you're willing to turn them up a bit.

do you think 2 with the diffusers would still be ok?

diffusers will decrease relative intensity by about ~10-15% if I remember correctly (it's been discussed a fair amount) but will also give you better spread across you 24" deep tank and allow you to mount your lights a bit lower, allowing your T5s to be a bit more effective
