The can will exhibit resonant modes based on its dimensions in all three 
axes.  This will affect what leaks in each direction at any seams and/or 
apertures.  It will also potentially give you surprise undesirable 
coupling between elements within the can.  If you really don't want any 
surprises you can:  Design the can to be very small compared to your 
wavelengths, ie less than a quarter wave on any diagonal, rely on Q 
suppression techniques, and/or evaluate in a 3D tool like Ansoft, CST 
etc.  Scott McMorrow has 3D tools from multiple vendors and does this 
stuff all day long.
