It also depends a lot on the scale of the minis you use. 28mm minis need a lot more space than 15mm, and some folks even use 6mm... As far as I remember, the assumed base scale is 15mm.

I have had this discussion before with the TFL folks as yes, some of the scenario books don't mention a size. -If you see a grid, then assume these are 12-inch by 12-inch. -with no grid, I like to use a ruler to get a sense of the relative length of the "long-side" and the "short-side" For example, if you measure on the paper printout from the scenario, that one side is 4 inches long and the other side is 6 inches long, then presto!? there is your 4 foot by 6 foot table.
I would not sweat it too much. The maps are very impressionistic so do what works for you with the gaming tables/plywood/foam pieces you have.
