Default Advice needed - Adding flaps(servo question)

I need a little advice from some of you veterans. I'm building an old Midwest Mustang .60 which has strip ailerons actuated by torque rods. I'm planning on splitting the ailerons and making flaps. The construction modification should be relatively easy. My questions are: How much of the aileron should now become a flap? Is a mini servo enough since flaps are used at low speeds?
This plane will now have 7 servos and I'm using mini's where possible (Throttle and retracts - air) and would like to use them for the flaps if possible.
Any and all advice is appreciated.
Thanks,
Jeff
