Windows wants >= 100 MB, or >= 256 MB on 4k-sector drives. (https://docs.microsoft.com/en-us/windows-hardware/manufacture/desktop/configure-uefigpt-based-hard-drive-partitions?view=windows-11) Whoever creates the partition should make it "large enough", i.e. it's reasonable to make it large enough to satisfy also windows, even if we only use a few MBs.
