Hello Grahm,
happy to see somebody else to tackle this monster - one can never get enough Victorys
The width of the planks was 9 to 12 inch. The length varied very much as they depended onto the spacing of the deck beams. In my model this gave lengths of 6 to 12 meters, the longer ones being positioned in the middle of the ship, the shorter ones near bow or stern, where the beams were more tightly packed.
So it depends if you do a version that goes this way or if you tend for a simplified version with a length of 6 or 8 meters that will also look fine.
The layout should be a 3 or four-butt shift system:
Also what I mean by respecting the deck beams here is a symbolic layout of deck beams of a smaller vessel: always on the start and end of the coamings or before and after the mast. The other beams follow more or less this pattern.
If you want it to be tricky, you still could do the margin planks on the sides
See here in MSW a little more detailed reports
