Nick could answer this question with authority since he grows commercially often using TC'd plants, but I think the recommendations I've seen for commercial growers suggest about 1' of p-stem before planting out. Most important, I think is a big bunch of healthy roots, which you can check on by taking your plant out of its pot to examine the roots. With natural pups, I've seen mention of 4-6" diameter p-stem being ideal for suckers being planted out.
All that aside, if you are not in the tropics, I think having the right weather conditions are more important than plant size. Even big healthy pups can die if you plant them in cold, wet soil.
