Lettuces and spinach are different.  The "rule of thumb" for greens in my 
Tucson AZ garden is 4 to a square.  This assumes I'll be picking the leaves 
as I go (instead of harvesting the whole plant).  I use this for lettuce, 
mustard, amaranth, and even collard and kale even though those will occupy 
a whole square if you let them.

Spinach is 9 to a square.

If in doubt you can always plant close and thin when they seem to be 
crowding each other out.  Lettuce is more foregiving of overcrowding than 
some crops.
