Hrm. Yeah, the approach I'd suggest would be to just add a fixed
amount, and if your functions return -FDT_ERR_NOSPACE, add some more.
That's pretty much the expected way of working with fdts in write
mode.

If that's really not suitable, we could look at adding a helper to
estimate this in libfdt. Or, actually, I suspect taking an existing
libfdt internal helper, polishing and exporting it.
