In my head I had the idea that it was 1/4 of a wavelength at the desired bandpass frequency.
One reference that I found suggested an air-spaced etalon would have an air gap of less that 5 thousands of an inch. I found another reference showing a 1mm gap. A third reference suggested a range of centimetres to millimetres.
