"a/the"; how to order
At a first food restaurant such as MxcDoxxxxd, looking at the menu list, are all of the following [ ] necessary to order? Or can some of them be omitted?
I am trying to add more information after ",".
Can I have [a/the] number 3, [the] meal, [the] medium size, [with] [an] orange juice?
Thank you

At a fast food restaurant, it is fine to say, "Can I have a number 3," or "Can I have the number 3."
Using "a" or "the" in these situations are totally fine.
Usually they'll ask if you want the meal. Yes you can say "the meal," If you want.
Yes, from everything else you said, It's okay to say. :)

The extra "a/the" are not necessary at all! Don't complicate a simple request. It actually breaks up the sentence, and I'm sure the cashier will ask you to repeat what you said.
This is all you need to say:
"Can I have the number 3 meal, medium size, with an orange juice, please?"
