Biggest slug: the biggest I've seen is as large as a human hand... maybe the largest can be as large as an arm?
Armour from fingernails: a fingernail is about 1cmx1cm ~1cm^2 in area; your whole body has about 1.5 m^2 or skin area, so you'd need something like 15000 fingernails with no overlapping between them, or, if choose to build armor with overlapping elements for added strength, you'd use 50% more, or about 22500 fingernails. Maths helps with your mind wonderings!
