As has been pointed out, this is a "How long is a piece of string?" question, to which the correct answer is "One more than you needed to stop the threat."
My personal approach is to carry a spare magazine or speed loader. For my usual EDC that means 5+1 plus a 7 round spare. For other occasions, it could mean 15+1 plus a 15 round spare, or even 6 plus 6 in a speed loader. I'm not as hung up on the number as I am concerned about having a spare mag for clearing malfunctions.
