Anymore then that, the swap should ideally be the same size as the RAM. This also depends on what the load the machine is using, If you run out of memory and swap, you would need to create more swap, or RAM, depending on your funds. You don't have to re-adjust the swap filesystem, you can just add another one. you can even create it on another hard drive if needed.
