Why do you want /tmp on hard drive partition? Placing it on tmpfs is
recommended [1] unless you have some special needs. BTW, apps in Fedora
are abandoning /tmp this days for storing persistent temporary data.

This indirectly answers your question about /tmp size - as much as you
can take out of RAM.
