You gotta do a few very simple calculations to come up with the required/desired ratio between bore of the master and slave cylinder.
.) what is your pedal travel at pedal pad (I'd say around 8")?
.) what is your pedal ratio (= distance from pad to pivot divided by distance from master cylinder rod to pivot)?
.) clamping force of the clutch?
.) ratio of clutch fingers?
.) ratio of clutch fork (if using an external slave cylinder)?
.) desired clutch departure distance (0.050"?)?
You can now do a back calculation.
Let's assume you have a 2500lbs pressure plate. Finger ratio of the plate could be around 5 to 1 (diaphragm is more like 8 or 10 to 1 iirc). Divide the 2500 by 5 and you get the necessary force to push down the clutch fingers (500lbs) - still a lot. The travel distance of the clutch departure (let's assume 0.050") becomes 0.250" at the fingers. This is without any free play though! Now you need to take the clutch for into account as well. A typical ratio is 2 to 1 - I don't think it's a coincidence that internal hydraulic throwout bearings also have a 2:1 ratio between bearing and master cylinder as they don't use a fork. That 2:1 ratio gives you 0.500" master cylinder travel (if the size of the slave and master is the same) - for internal TOB or external slave cylinder - and a necessary force of 250lbs to push down the master cylinder rod. Finally the pedal ratio comes into play: a 6:1 ratio would decrease the necessary force to around 42lbs and a pedal travel at the pad of 3" (0.500" x 6).
This is for a 3 finger clutch - a diaphragm clutch is way easier to push due to a different ratio but also requires more pedal travel. In reality the pedal travel is a bit longer due to free play. By playing with the size of the master vs. the slave cylinder you can trade off required force vs. pedal travel: a small master requires less pedal force but pedal travel becomes longer. When using a 3 finger clutch this is really necessary in my opinion as you do not use the Z-bar anymore which gave you a 2:1 linkage as well.
Let's sum up all the ratios: Pedal (6), Z-bar (2), Fork (2), Clutch fingers (5) = 6 x 2 x 2 x 5 = 120:1. That means clutch pressure of 2500lbs and 0.050" clutch departure travel will be 21lbs and 6" travel at the pedal (again, without free play). When using a hydraulic clutch you loose the Z-bar so you have to make up for it in the sizing of the master/slave combo. For example a 3/4" master cylinder paired with a 1 1/16" slave gives you that 2:1 ratio (you have to compare the piston area).
