Ah ok... I don't know if this helps in any way, but here's a picture of a similarly sized knife I'm working on atm. The tang is actually a bit thicker than the start of the spine at around 4mm. I terms of width it goes down quickly to 1cm +/- a few mms for most of the length. Length I've cut it off to 8cm, which is plenty. Though I also like shorter stubbier handles on this kind of thing, and it'll mean careful drilling as the tang will extend almost all the way to the bottom. (And as I think you might have seen on my ig - I do it by hand... cleaver handles like this are a nightmare!):

It might also depend on how the knife is going to be held. I use a two fingered pinch grip on knives like this with my fingers running down the outside of the blade in a v-shape. Used like this there's very little stress on the tang/handle, though if someone's holding it with a hammer grip it'd be more of an issue.
I'd have thought 1cm x 3mm x 5cm should be alright...
