You can choose how much of your HD yu assign for the windows partition. so I guess you can have any size so long as windows XP can fit. Any sizes bigger than 30 gig have to be NTFS, meaning OS X won't be able to right to your windows partition because it can only read and not right to NTFS disks and the limit for FAT 32 partitions is around 30 GB.
