Stave height

I still seem to find this confusing, although I've had it all explained to me here in the past (by Peter, I think).
For the A4 specified in the dialogue (screenshot), is the stave height 73% of 4.8 mm or something different? What height would it be if printed to B4? And if printed to A3?
The current A4 stave height is perfectly acceptable for a ‘study score’ professionally laser printed. However, the conductor will need at least B4 and maybe A3, hence my questions.
(The piece is for 6 singers & 23 instruments with a maximum of 30 staves in a system - most with fewer - and is 315 pages of music when laid out with up to five systems to a page, although quite often there is only one system on a page. It all needs to be bound in a single volume.)
