Though match directors are free to do whatever round count they want at lower level matches, most MDs keep it around 32. Sometimes they may go a couple of over, but most respect that limit.
Typically the only time they routinely go over that limit is few pre-announced matches, like USA's Monster Match and others.
I typically like to have on my belt enough for the stage. So for a 32 round stage I will carry 40ish rounds on my belt (32 rounds + a bit extra for the partials that end up on the ground), plus the magazine in the gun.
So based on the typical 140mm magazine that is around 20-24 rounds. I would have one in the gun, and two on the belt. Leaving the spare mag carrier and magazine in your bag. Of course I am approaching this as someone that hits nearly everything I aim at, if you have issues with certain targets having more magazines would be helpful.
