i'm not sure i'd ever consider attempting to constantly adjust a max size setting ahead of growth of the database to make much sense.  that isn't what that setting is for.  that setting is a "security" setting.  a limit to protect the environment [e.g. the os], not something you should pick a value for based on your best attempt at guessing how large the db might get.
