Sizing memory and table columns with ZHT16BIG5 character set database.

Can anyone suggest the things i need to take care of when i create a database with a mutibyte character set. ZHT16BIG5 is a 16 bit character set for which i assume the sizing for the table columns must be doubled from that of the WE8ISO8859P1 character set (lets say a column which was defined as varchar2(10) for a single byte character set will have to be varchar2(20) for ZHT16BIG5 character set.). Let me know if i am right with this.
This apart what are the things i need to take care of in my init parameters and other memory file size when i use a mutibyte character set.

Thanks in Advance,
