Where are you gettin size from anyway
SQL> desc v$type_size

 Name                            Null?    Type
 ------------------------------- -------- ----
 COMPONENT                                VARCHAR2(8)
 TYPE                                     VARCHAR2(8)
 DESCRIPTION                              VARCHAR2(32)
 TYPE_SIZE                                NUMBER

So it's SELECT type_size fro v$type_size
