Two to four thou is a good place to start, but if you use the same "fudge" distance (never heard it called adder) as 20 dp gears, it won't be the end of the world. To be honest, most teams can't hold tight enough tolerances to worry about the difference.
EDIT - WCP suggests adding three thou to center distances, and it's always a good idea to listen to the manufacturer. I don't know how much clearance is added to these gears since that spec is rarely posted. I always suggest a small range so that you can adapt your adder to the application, either high torque or high speed. Course, that's assuming you can hold a thou tolerance on everything.
