There will be no increase of the size of 'files'. Luks resp. dm-crypt is just a layer between block devices and actual filesystems. So the actual size of files depends on your filesystem and not on luks or dm-crypt. Dm-crypt uses blockciphers. In short words that means that x byte plaintext will be encrypted to x byte ciphertext, without any overhead or increase of size. I don't know how owncloud's stock encryption solution exactly works, but are you sure, that Luks does really satisfy your requirements? All files of all users will be encrypted with the same key when using Luks and when your filesystem is mounted, the webserver process or other processes may have access to all files, regardless of encryption.
