Stop thinking only of VSAM! On an SMS managed volume, ALL data sets have an entry in the VVDS. The default allocation is 10 tracks primary and 10 tracks secondary. You need to RTFB in Managing catalogs. A KSDS needs 530 bytes. Non-VSAM needs 100 bytes. If you have SMS volumes that are used for similar data sets, you might be able to get an idea by looking at their VVDSes.
