This is extracted from the NSW Reptile Keepers' Code of Practice , is as good a guide as any and is based on scientific studies and extensive reptile keepers' experience :
These are INDIVIDUAL specimens ONLY.
Typically the standard size most here (in Australia) use for an adult bearded dragon is 1.2m x 0.6m (near enough to 4ft x 2ft) foot print , give A = 0.72 sq.m
The above code indicates 1.05m x 0.7m = 0.735 sq.m
Obviously too small for a full grown frill necked dragon ( Male frilled lizards reach approximately 3 feet in length ) or a full grown eastern water dragon ( adult females grow to about 60 cm (2 feet) long, and adult males can grow slightly longer than one metre and weigh about 1 kg ) .
Both are significantly larger than the largest bearded dragon.
So extending for them , category F, the minimum viv footprint is 1.5(1m) x 1(1m) = 1.5m x 1m = 1.5 sq.m which is pretty small for such a substantial dragon (IMO).
