IIRC you're using 916 Showa forks as am I? if so with regards to the height, the forks protrude around 50mm, depending on how high you set them in the yoke (mine are around 48mm with 2 'rings' showing) but you obviously want some room to get to the adjusters without having to remove the bars.

I've got 30mm risers on top of the original Monster riser/bracket and that sits the centre of the riser bracket/bar around 75mm from the yoke which is about as close as you can go if you still want to adjust the forks (I've got around 8mm gap between bar and screw top).

As fat bars are a little thicker I'd say bracket +40mm sounds about right to me.
