From what I've seen, the most common technique is to make a stencil of an oval which is twice as tall as it is wide. As for the size, I would try making some paper Iris / pupil ovals, and taping them in, to see what you like best. Common ones to try would be just bigger than the visible white, the same size as the white, and just smaller so there's edge showing. Remember to take pictures from multiple angles, then you can compare them.

Wanted to get back to you on this, having finally printed my toon-eye eye-sockets and gotten comfortable with the eyes...
I made paper ovals that were bigger than the socket, used a stencil I had 3D printed (after using it as a mock-up in Blender) to make the irises, cut out the pupils, then taped them into various positions in the back of the eye until I came up with a configuration that I liked. You want to cut out the pupils for this so you can try it on and see what things look like.
What I came up with, which I think is going to be the norm, is that the irises are about as large as I can get away with making them, the pupils are a little more than half their diameter, and they are somewhere between the center and the inner edge of the eye space.
Hope that helps someone...
