The drawings are grouped in folders, depending on the material used so you can simply count the number of sheets in each folder. Obviously for a 500x200mm balsa sheet you will need to cut a 1m long sheet in half and attach the 2 pieces together with CA adhesive.

Apart from the laser cut parts, you will need 2mm balsa for sheeting. Here's a rough estimation for the minimum number of 2mm sheets needed:
fuselage: 16
wing:16
stab: 6
fin: 3

The rudder is the only part sheeted with 1.5mm balsa to keep the weight as low as possible (2 sheets needed).
