That one is triky because it requires that you have more knowledge of perspective grids which he talks about in the next chapter. Try jumping to P 51, which is the one that teaches you how to make the right grid for the exercise. In the video for P 37 he explains the process more throughly: http://scottrobertsonworkshops.com/h2dr/videos/

Regarding the right size, the planes are theoretically infinite. When Scott defines a plane size in the book it's merely for illustrative purposes, plane size doesn't come into account when mirroring, maybe this is the reason for your confusion? Regarding the angle, the only requirement is that it's vertically oriented, like the side of a 2-point perspective cube, and it's also best to keep it close to the tilted rotated plane you're going to mirror.

It's also more than that - it's a hand-picked recommendation of something I've used myself. If you're interested, here is a full list.

These are what I use when doing these exercises. They usually run somewhere in the middle of the price/quality range, and are often sold in sets of different line weights - remember that for the Drawabox lessons, we only really use the 0.5s, so try and find sets that sell only one size.

Alternatively, if at all possible, going to an art supply store and buying the pens in person is often better because they'll generally sell them individually and allow you to test them out before you buy (to weed out any duds).
