It's up to you, it's completely arbitrary. Different sizes will correspond to different points of view in 4D (with some simplifications).

I just wanted to 3D print a model. Wasn't sure if the lines leading between the cubes needed a different thickness to be more correct.

Well, they are lines, their thickness is purely coming from practical considerations.
