This seems like a fairly large bowl. In this case at minimum, 7 braces, maybe 8. Depends where you put them and how thick the top is as well.

Yeah, 8 braces for that size bowl would be standard. Also, 4mm, with a height of 20mm is fairly standard.
Since the bowl is so large, you might wanna go slightly thicker on the braces. Maybe 5mm, and not make every brace 20mm. I make the braces in the
center a little higher than the ones close to the blocks. So the tallest 20mm, and the next 18mm, and then eventually 16mm or so.
You have to experiment a bit, take a lot of measurements and repeat this procedure many times until you feel you know whats best. I'm working on this
myself.
