Part of the answer will depend on the dimensions of your tank - is this a 20 standard, or a 20 long? The 20 long has more surface area for oxygen exchange, so if you've got good filtration and water movement, you should be able to keep another fish or two over what you can keep in the 20 regular.
If your albinos are Aeneus (bronze) corys these only get around 2.5" so the fish you have are going to stay fairly small. I'd say that if you have a 20 regular, you could get up to 4-5 more , 6 if you have a 20 long (and depending on the species you'll be getting - if you get one of the larger 3" species, go one less)

I would make each group contain five fish, so a couple more albino or bronze corys(same species), and three more peppered corys.

The rule of thumb is: 1 inch of fish for each gallon of water.
You should be able to get about 4-5 more. That will give them all room to grow a bit.

Based on your tank capacity and present inhabitants, you can add another 4-5 cory cats, no more please :-)
