To determine the optimal square size, divide the diameter of the base of the king by .75, and then add between 1/8" and 1/4" (.3 to .6 cm).  So, a king with a base of 5cm would require playing squares between 7.0 and 7.3 cm.

These links may help. Whitehorsechess and FIDE.

The squares are too small, too big and just right.

Squares of about 6.5 cm should fit nicely.
