[twist-tabletweaving] question

Hi folks
 
I am looking at making name bracelets for a bunch of kids, and was wondering
how any of you calculate length of cotton/rows/final lengths?
 
Basically I'm having to do a few experiments - I am using size 8 crochet
cotton (fairly fine) and seeing how long a bracelet would be for my son
(he's Alexander, so quite a long name!), with a motif at each end. The
pattern is 526 picks long, and 44 tablets wide (argh, this is not really a
starter project hehe). I have no idea currently how long it will turn out -
it may be long enough to go around his waist! If it is, I guess I can
re-specialise into belts :)
 
Anyone have any calculation methods I can use?
