That would be about 40GB DB partition for each of your osds. This general rule covers most things except for RGW and cephfs with millions and millions of small files. The DB grows with the number of objects as well with how much the object are modified.

There is no hard and fast role for how big to make the DB partitions, but you should watch closely to see how big your DBs grows as your cluster fills up.

Very many thanks for pointing this out!
Indeed we have been unsure on how much is needed, since we are just getting started with Ceph. 
Since the current hardware we have imposes these limits, we now plan to start with it and watch DB usage carefully, 
and plan to buy larger SSD drives (or reduce the OSD-to-SSD-factor) as soon as things start to spill over. 

In our very first stress test creating small files which we are running now (creating ~155,000,000 files),
which is almost half-through after over a day, the small DB partitions are indeed already half-full. 

We hope our users will use the system for what it is meant for (mainly storing large files ~ 1GB or more), but for sure we should watch this. 

Many thanks again!
