RE: Fuel pump sock filter - recommended surface area
an application person would need to answer a question more like "which filter do i need to pick from this catalog to meet the allowable pressure drop requirements of my low pressure fuel system," and the answer would probably be along the lines of "these 5 models give pressure drop lower than 20kPa, when dirty, for the flow rates I have in mind... but version 3 is the cheapest."

It is probably more a case of rule of thumb experience than strict theoretical calculation.
I would be looking at industry best current practice for that type of installation.
Or more crudely put, monkey see, monkey do.
