As often as they want to, if they're in the same cage.
But if you spay and neuter them, it won't matter anyway!

Male guinea pigs can mate at any time and, in fact, are very easily aroused: the mere scent of a female is enough to engage their instincts. However, females can only mate when they are in season. The vagina of a female guinea pig is actually blocked by a mucus plug when she is not in season. A females estrus cycle is typically 18 days, and when she goes into heat, this mucus plug clears so that she can accept the male. During this time, which can last for up to 24 hours, she and the male will mate several times.

Broadwaystar was correct, but I'll add on that, within 2 hours of giving birth, the female will go back into heat.
