the size can vary greatly depending on the speed you want to achieve, and how 
you configure the cores;
you will also need memory controller I suppose and possibly RISC?
I suggest compiling the cores with FPGA tool -- there you can take a look into 
the logs and get an impression. Some cores also have areas estimated.
But I suppose you will need quite large FPGA, like XCV1600.
