Enough for all the monks to each have their own bed. It follows that the size of the dormitory depended on how many monks lived in the abbey - and that number was different from one abbey to another, and often changed over time. Only the abbot lived apart from the rest of the monks, since he had his own lodgings away from the central cloister ranges. To take just one example, at Milton Abbey in Dorset there were 40 Saxon monks before the Norman Conquest; there may have been 40 in the 12th century; by 1344 there were only 23 monks; on 27 January 1417 there were 15 monks; at the Dissolution of the monasteries by Henry VIII in the 1530s there were only 12 monks. Major abbeys in the 12th century generally housed 60 to 100 monks, but the largest (Christ Church Canterbury) was home to 150.

An abbey is simply a building where monks or nuns live. Typically, they live in isolation from the world. Since an abbey could be home to either monks or nuns (but never both) than who ever the mother superior was would be in charge of running the abbey. Please note that even a mother superior would not be above even the simplest of deacons. They are not members of the clergy and have no authority over them, even if they are in charge of an abbey. The same is true for monks.
