I'm not quite sure is your glider hard-winged or not.
Size of a glider is to be determined by your body weight and your needs for specific type of glider (is it beginners glider, speeder, competition glider). Each type has a different proportions between lenght, wing range and so on. Your body weight should be multiplied with 10 (+/- 2, depending on type) and that result expressed in m2 so it is size of your glider. All other ratios you define by placing balance on main axis, if necessary (but not always recommended).
