The measurements have changed slightly since this rule first appeared 20 years ago.
The height used to be 30cm (12") and it has now a little better for the scheme he has applied. Most of the Piper aircraft about would be still at 12" (including the WAB) on this prior to stripping.
The 250mm will work in well with the black just aft of the wing.
47.115 Specification of marks
(a) The nationality and registration marks must consist of capital letters
in Roman characters without ornamentation.
(b) The width of each letter (except the letter "I") and the length of the
hyphen must be two-thirds of the height of the letter.
(c) Each letter must be separated from the letter which immediately
precedes or follows it by a space not less than one-quarter the height of the
individual letters, the hyphen being regarded as a letter for this purpose.
(d) The lines forming the letters and hyphen must be solid and the
thickness of those lines must be one-sixth of the height of the letter.
47.117 Measurement of marks
(a) The nationality and registration marks displayed must be formed of
letters of equal height, and must be placed to leave a margin of at least 50
mm along each edge of any surface to which they are affixed.
(b) Except as provided in paragraph (c), the height of the marks on
aircraft must not be less than 250 mm.
(c) The Director may approve marks smaller than 250mm, but not less
than 150mm in height, to be displayed on heavier-than-air aircraft if the
aircraft does not have a surface large enough to accommodate marks
250mm in height.
