Two  liters should do even if it represents the diluted solution. If your 
concern is the capacity of the solution, how many prints you can make with

it,  then we need to know the developer in use. Fresh developer, of
course. 
Stop (if you use it) and fixers (2 baths) will work. It's best in a 
situation with little solution to use a tray that has a flat bottom, or 
minimal expressions. Take care not to let the paper get 'stuck' to the 
bottom. (Stiction to be technical.)

Drifting a bit - I was lucky to have aquired several NIB  8"x10" curved 
(commonly called 'canoe' shaped) stainless trays intended for processing 
color paper. They are stainless in part to conduct heat, but they clean up

nicely too. They won't fit your paper unless you were speaking of 
centimeters. They permit the use of very little chemistry. One 'rocks' the

tray on it's curved bottom. I use them for sheet film. One-shot chemistry.
