I am not sure why you would put the old broken bricks underneath the fire brick hearth, the slab itself is an insulation. It is fine to place the bricks flat ( 75mm ) (3 inches) all it means is less thermal mass, but if your oven is a home oven for family cooking only, it will be more than fine.

So without the old bricks you will still have 150mm (6 inches wide) of thermal mass layer.
