What would be the typical size for a single width carport? A double width
carport?

Who cares what a typical size is? If you are planning a carport, make it big
enough for the cars you own or are ever likely to own. Take some chalk, make
marks on pavement directly under the ends of the bumpers, directly under the
ends of the opened doors, and then move the car and measure the marks. Add
at least a foot, preferably 2 for fudge factor, and there is your size, for
that bay. Off the top of my head, I'd say 22'x10' minimum, 24'x12'
preferable. Don't forget 3rd dimension, especially if there is a hump in the
driveway approach to the carport. Needs to be tall enough to clear the
antennas and whatever you have mounted on top. If resale is a concern, make
it big enough for an SUV or normal pickup. (Forget about the tall-boy
pickups or RVs- those need barns.)
