Well for comparison the average number of hides given on the clan generator is 240.

My maths might be wrong here but..

1 hide = 120 acres = 0.4858 kmsq
240 hides productive land is 116.60 kmsq = approx 11 * 11 km - which accroding to the clan generator includes hunting land.

Now a Km is 5/8 of a mile so rounding a lot lets say 6.5 miles * 6.5 miles. Somebody once figured this as about the size of a DP hex.

Of course that is not allowing you any waste/room for expansion/buffer zone etc.
