I'm a hoarder, so it's a tough question. I think I need at least a 50-book TBR with the understanding that at least 20 of those may be DNF. (You just never know with new books.) And, of course, my back library of at least 100 titles that I could read again in a pinch.
The problem is my reading rate varies wildly depending on circumstances. I CAN read 2-3 books in a day, but I will go through dry spells where Real Life intervenes. My actual rate in practice is probably closer to 3-4 books a week. 50 books would be a 12-week (3 month) supply at that rate.
Interesting, it would also be a 25-day / 1 month supply at my hypothetical don't-have-anything-else-going-on rate. So maybe I CAN handle a 1-month-sized TBR list. However, if I was going at that rate, I'd be getting very nervous and wanting to expand the list PRONTO.
