Read the specs for the hardware, and put as many bits in as you can without blocking, stopping when the entropy estimate hits a high water mark? If that doesn't answer your question, please ask again with more context about what you are assuming, goals, constraints, etc., because I suspect you understand a reason why this is harder than it seems to me :-)
