1) How do you choose the VG size ? AFAICS, the only possible choice is 
to restrict the VG use to a given size or percentage.

2) How do you see the VG size ?

I tested guided LVM with all in one partition and restrict the VG used 
size to 12 GiB and I get a root LV of 11.9 GB and a swap LV of 1 GB, so 
a total use of 12.9 GB as expected. vgs shows 12 GiB used.
