Default pedestal dining table: base size vs table top size

I acquired a used 52" round table top. The former owner ruined the
legs from long storage in a wet basement. Looking at the bottom of the
table, I think it had a pedestal base. This thing is a monster-- it
has 4 leaves and extra legs to fold down when it's expanded.

I'd like to build or buy a new base for it. Is there a formula for
figuring out how wide the legs need to spread so the table is sturdy &
won't tip?

I've seen a few pedestals for sale that are max 8" diameter with 12"
legs, but that seems way too small for a 52" top. Can anyone suggest a
source for a larger one?

Thanks!
