If you'd like to play around with the numbers, there's a small 16-bit mec roller design app
(sorry, won't run on 64-bit Windows) at
this page. Click on the "2011-09-30a mecanum roller design calculator " download link.
You enter desired wheel radius, roller center radius, and number of rollers, and you get the information shown in the attached screenshot, plus an XY data file of the required roller profile. It's easy to iterate to try different solutions. The solutions are for a "bumpless" mec: the wheel circumference is circular with no gaps.
