Which way should I write this? Extreme help needed

Could you help me with this English Speaker?

I just want to know if you could switch it around and what it depends on?
I have the exact number of envelopes for the sheets of paper I have.
I have the exact number of sheets of paper for the envelopes I have.
I have the exact number of sheets of paper for the envelopes I have to put them in.

Same here,
How would I have to write this? Is it possible to turn it around?

I have the exact number of DVDs for the space I have to put them in.
I have the exact number of DVDs for the space I have for them.

Hopefully you'll answer

Thank you so much
