Yes, they will get along fine as long as they have enough room.

Bettas, like most other fish, like to swim around. A single male betta needs a 5-10 gallon tank with a heater and filter for optimum health. Four or five females would be fine in 10 gallons. Plants and caves make it more interesting for them and a couple of rasboras might work as tank mates for the single male, depending on his aggressive tendencies. males can't be kept with other bettas, but do appreciate tank mates if they have room.

People tend to think they don't live long, but if they have enough room, clean water (filter), and consistent temperature (heater), they will be much less stressed and can live for a lot longer than expected.

They should only live in groups of 3 or more. Having two could lead to bullying one another.

Only female Bettas can be kept together. That too will only work if they are given reasonably roomy conditions and plenty of cover (plants) and hidey holes. Male betta fish can/ will fight to death if there is another male fish in the tank, a male will sometimes eat a female so your best bet is to have a single betta or a female and a female.
