I have around 50 xymon instances running.

The required space depends mainly on how many changes you have.
We have some major issues with devmon so we have a lot of changes 
between clear and green. Each change is saved to a file and that can use 
a lot of space. If you are not interested in the details of all these 
changes, they can be safely removed.

We also have added extra arrays and extra data points to our rrds so 
they hold more data. That also also uses extra space but not that much.
