Our equivalent 'great room' is 8m x 4m, and we have 2 batten lights there currently with 60w globes, It is way too dull, even though the kitchen with 3 pendants and 3 spotlights is right next to it! (But not included in the 8x4 measurement above) We are getting 2 x 5-light pendants put in to give a bit more light.
I would definitely go 3 if your light fittings can only fit 1x40w each; and you will probably need to put in a few lamps and things to make it brighter...

OK I said this the other day. Yesterday we changed the 60w to a 100w and it makes such a difference! I am now thinking that once we have our 5 light pendants in there it will be much too bright and we'll need to get a dimmer switch put in
Taking into consideration that you have already lived with a 40w in the same size area, and what Rachelle said too, I would leave it as two as well now
