I think a good footprint for an expansion card is the PCPI Appli-Card.
It's the largest card I own.

The bottom is 10 3/4" long, and the height on the back is 3" high. On
the top, at 7 3/4" from the back, it starts to slope down due to the
slope on the top cover of the Apple II, II+, IIe, and the logic board
upgraded Apple IIgs in a IIe case... The front of the card is 2" high.
That makes the slope a 15-degree angle.

Hope this helps! :)
