How many network storage spaces, of what size, should a 1.7TB guest lpar
have?

From my testing, if you don't have at least 6 NWSSTGs, save/restore will be really crappy .... to the tune of 2x longer for save/restore tasks when there are 1-5 NWSSTGs compared to save/restore with 6 or or more NWSSTGs.

All NWSSTGs should be of similar size. No need to try to make them a size similar to a real drive. However, in your case 1.7TB is equivalent to 6x 283GB NWSSTGs .... so you can size them similarly to "real" drives.
