They should be fine in that big a space. I will warn you a bit----oregano likes to spread. It is not quite as bad as mint, but it does spread.

Sweet Basil and Rosemary like to get tall in my garden. My parsley also gets huge. I have just 2 parsley plants in my garden and they are taking up a space about 2'x3'. They won't last into the summer in my area due to heat though.

I now have Sage, Thyme, Rosemary, Parsley, Oregano, Chives and Sweet Basil growing in my garden.

You have a mix there with cool and warm weather herbs, dry and likes watered. Cilantro and dill cool weather. Sage and thyme dry feet. My suggestion would be to do a google on each one and get a handle on temps, water, soil, AM or all day sun etc. With that long a space could group by needs.
