Size waffle boards

So this morning a truck delivered 1 fullsize waffle board 1500 x 1000 x 50 mm
So now i'm in the luxury position to cut my own boards.
Some research told me that "standard-size" is 1300 x 300 x 50 mm..
I was thinking to make some 1000 x 250 x 50 mm boards and additional Hi-lift supports.
What size do you use? and is still easy to store and handle?

the green ones that Doug made up for us from 'surplus-preloved' varied in size from Standard down to coffee cup size and having a bunch of smaller ones is generally useful for us, levelling vans on camping, infilling ruts, supporting and bridging with longer boards, high lift jack plate, axle stand/bottle jack plate, my big ones are only just over 1.1m, I wanted them short enough to fit in the locker box on the back when I had that
I've used the smaller 2/3 size ones more than the big ones - they are only 30mm so big ones can't take the load without the smaller ones to support them when bridging too

I recently found out what this stuff is actually for. I screeded a floor in a sub station and under the waffle boards is a trench a couple of meters deep for all the cables to run.

Thanx Aidan,
I think 1 M x 250 mm parts are sufficient maybe 250mm/25cm is to small ?
@ Jed mine come from a "cat walk" installation company. Half of the normal waffle-board retail price

Youd get 4 waffel boards and 2 Hi lift bases out of each sheet
