For a regular uncountable κ, the finite-condition collapse has the κ chain in a partial order condition, by a regular-cardinal Delta-system lemma and thinning to identical assignments on the finite root. Thus every maximal forcing antichain has ground-model size less than κ. There is no fixed size: for any nonzero cardinal μ<κ, assigning all values below μ at the one coordinate (μ,0) is a maximal forcing antichain of size μ.
