Others who have run custom drivetrains with belt would be able to tell you better, but the numbers Sam posted are great to start with. Though if you need to run smaller sprockets than what is recommended, you can always incorporate idler sprockets/bearings into your belt run to increase the amount of wrap you have on your pulleys. This adds weight and complexity, but it is an option.
