Ideally, nothing at all. However, those images aren't that wide: 590px or so isn't exactly huge IMO. On my screen if I resize so that the browser is the same width as the images then the max line length is 99 characters - over the recomended limit I agree. One application of CTRL++ and that drops to 80 chars and is more than legible. Perhaps we should revisit the decision to use such a small font size?
