Don't worry about the 2200uf..The nice thing about using the film caps is,you don't need as much capacitance because they are much more efficient as far as delivery and filtering goes..The 10uf at 400v you can leave alone unless you want to change to a Wima or a Panasonic of a higher value.. The 50uf@500v panasonic polys are more than enough for those 100uf and they are 2.5 inch long and about an 1.2 inch thick.
On my AES SET amps,they used a pair of 1200uf electrolytics in series meaning it was 600uf at 900v,I replaced them with a pair of 70uf motorrun caps in parallel giving me 140uf at about 700dc and the amps had not even trick of hum at 16 watts and the amps now make a better 10khz sq than they ever did.
Dennis Hadd always over filters things with very so so caps.
