I would say 4-5 pages, but it depends on your size writing and also...

Quality > Quantity.

I think about .75 pages to a page for every 10 marks in the exam is a good guide for all questions in english paper 2.

Remember, you should spend the first 6 minutes or so planning.

It seems like a lot, but if you have a good, detailed plan in front of you, you will fly through the actual answer!
