You don't need a SPACE parameter to RECATALOG an __existing__ COMMON page space. Or any other VSAM file because you are RECATALOGing an existing data set. You need to use the formulas in the book to determine how big you need __your__ COMMON page data set to be. I can't do it for you. It varies. And I don't have the formula handy myself right now.
