About 30cm should be okay for arm holes I think.
Like you have read the tunic should idealy be as wide as the distance from elbow to elbow with your arms outstreched (In 'Jezus-aan-kruis houding'). I think the middle 1/3rd of this distance left open is good for a head hole. If you look at the sources you see that the head hole was wide enough to put your arm trough and wear the tunic 'tarzan style' while doing heavy work.
Such a big neckhole can be tied together behind your head at the neck or you can use a fibula to keep it closed.
Vale,
Ok, thank you!
