That is my understanding too. I usually image for each colour until I can see the central dust motes for that colour; this also shows vignetting really well. It varies quite a lot really for each filter with exposure. I suppose I should use a numbers relationship but I go by what I can see in the flat image. This usually gives me a good flat to subtract away from the subs.
