You've got the perfect measure right there - if you've got the tunes
in a form to put them on CD already, just check out how long they are
and arrange them appropriately, with a few minutes between for the
sets to change up.
The real problem with "ballpark" figures is that dances vary wildly
in length. Your average ECD is about 2 to 3 minutes, whereas you
could do a bransle for 5. A nice long round of Petit Vriens could take
4 minutes, while Anello might be 2.
But as I said, since you're using recorded music, you know exactly
how long each dance is, so there goes the guess work!
