the size of nucleoli depends upon the ribosomal requirements of the type of cell in which they are found. In cells that produce large amounts of protein, and thus call for significant numbers of ribosomes, the size of the nucleolus is considerable, sometimes occupying as much as 25 percent of the total volume of the nucleus.

So you cannot predict a specific size for a nucleolus. Also I read various articles that suggested the nucleolus size change over different phases of the cell cycle.
