You are lucky I was just going to turn computer off 
1. The dimentions you use can be from a knowen sword,in a museum ect Which makes it easier to do draw onto card the shape so it will give you an idea of final shape and your main dimention is the width of the blade to go with first then total length;
2. The handle length you can go with origonal size but we tend to have much larger hands especially me so I would go with your own hand size as the gauge as you are the one holding it.
3. Rivet space I think you mean how much to stick out of the top of the pommel
This is how much I had to work with it does not make any difference as you can cut it down before riveting it on unless you are going to put a thread on, and if so again just cut of the excess.
