Tables don't have records.
Tables have rows.
Rows have LENGTH
LENGTH*number_of_rows approximates size of table.
What about any index on table?

I have seen cases where INDEX size is greater than TABLE size. It depends.

You are free to use any formula you deem appropriate because it depends upon the specifics for situation.
The reality is that Oracle will consume the necessary space or just throw error when it can not acquire the space it needs; regardless of what you calculate.

Do you know the average size of your rows?
Do you know your db block size?
If you know the above two, then you know how many rows can go into a block -- after factoring in the block header overhead and the effect of pct_free.

Do you know how many blocks will be created in an extent?
Do you realize that disk space will be allocated in chunks of an extent?
