What you do with any hair wing for sizing is "to offer it up" if it is too big then loose a few hairs until you get it in proportion.
I have said it many times it is "all about proportion"
Experience soon tells you what is right. For sake of argument a rough rule of thumb is about 1/4" of hair for a wing.
