The first thing to note is that you have far, far too many shards in your cluster. I would recommend at leasst changing the number of primary shards to 1 to reduce this over time, but it would most likely also make sense to look into consolidating some of the indices. Try to look for an average shard size in tens of GB.

The ideal size for the new cluster will depend on how the current one is working and what the expected growth and load is. It is impossible to give any recommendations based on the information you have provided.
