Both levels are the same width and I have left room all the way around so I can get to everything. I am building a helix to move from one level to the next.

to measure the hight of a tunnel portol not the opening but the
overall hight, this should be your
minimum hieght. this works for
any scale

If the lower level is just staging, you need to get your arm in, so about 7-8″ will work. Otherwise, about 18″ will handle some decent scenery. I’d go for at least that, but also merge the two levels with a mountain scene. See modelrailroader.com for track plans.
