Next few
Since I have not been able to find an example sentence close to the following sentence, I was wondering whether it is correct.
Prisoners open the next few cell doors.
"Next few" seems to be mainly used to denote a period of time, not often to refer to space.

Englishmaven, thanks a lot. Despite the fact the my father was an Englishman, French is still my main language, and sometimes I have doubts about the use of expressions.
