To make a window usable you need to decide how many columns you need to fit into the window by customizing split-width-threshold. By default it's 160 that means two horizontally split windows with 80 columns in each that allows a comfortable use of each window. OTOH, the window height has less relevance since most of the time all windows are scrolled vertically.
