Baltei (shoulder or waist) width shall not exceed the width of the decoration. Use this as a rule of thumb.
Otherwise it depends on the qualities of your leather. Our late-roman-used leather is quite flexible and weak, our waistbelts even deformed a bit after 2 years of use, and I wouldn't really want to hang our scabbards without pressing them to our body with the waistbelt.
