I'm going to build a Linux from Scratch system and use Mint as the host system.

I think you're better off following the LFS documentation for how much space you might need for compilation and dependencies.
I'm also Terminalforlife on GitHub.

That was not my question but I was thinking incorrectly anyways so the question is moot.

YES - it will indeed fit onto an DVD
8)

as for the best size, to fit the LinuxMint Installation,
then you will need at least 50Gb of Free Space,
but, the more you can give, the better . . .

An 'out of the box' install of LM19.3 (only 'bare' system to hand) will use about 9GB. How much more to allocate depends on what you need to do.
Thinkcentre M720Q - LM21.3 cinnamon, 4 x T430 - LM21.3 cinnamon, Homebrew desktop i5-8400+GTX1080 Cinnamon 19.0
