The exact quantity is determined by factors such as the potency of the venom and the immunological response of the animal used for producing the antivenom.

Why does it take so long to make antivenom to cure snakebite?

Because it has to circulate your blood stream fully to wipe it out. In order to work, the antivenom must contact the venom. Antivenom is usually administered via IV infusion and diffuses into the tissues slowly, whereas venom will diffuse into the tissues rapidly. It may take many hours for the antivenom to diffuse into the tissues and neutralize the venom there, depending on the nature of the antivenom product used. It should be able to neutralize the venom that may be circulating in the vascular compartment and prevent systemic manifestations of envenomation.
