There really is no standard link size for Roman mail. You need to pick a specific extant example and try to replicate that. AFAIK Erik D Schmid is the only person who does this commercially.
Regarding Seastrom - don't do a custom order. Just pick a link size that is close to something that they have in stock. I recently bought a few kg of these.
