I calculate the size by choosing either the 3/8" or 1/4" setup on my box joint cutter set and then adjust the depth of the fingers to the board thickness. If you're just using a normal table saw blade, the size of your joints could be based more on artistic preference than functionality. Similar to how dovetails are hand cut based on the desired appearance.
I had your exact problem with my Dewalt DWE7480 (just a bit newer version of your saw).

It's obviously not as ideal as a full dado stack, but gets the job done. I used it for cutting tenons on 8/4 stock and it leaves a nice clean/straight cut.
Oh wow!!...i was told multiple times that this saw can not use dado blades because the arbor is not long enough and will be dangerous.
From my research, this is the only dado type blade recommended for this saw.

Glad to see dado blades working out for you!
You can use this set for the 7480 and 745. It's been sitting in my wish list waiting for a project where I need it.

yes, I use it a lot and it works fine. It's a dado that will do 1/4" and 3/8", but 3/4" is too risky. The comments specify people using it for the 745: https://smile.amazon.com/gp/product/B000ASGV1E/ref=oh_aui_search_detailpage?ie=UTF8&psc=1
This may fit your table saw. It fits a dewalt dw745 https://www.amazon.com/Freud-Joint-Cutter-Joints-SBOX8/dp/B000ASGV1E
I've got a DeWalt DWE7480, and my only complaint about it is the short arbor that can't use dado blades (with a handful of exceptions apparently, although I don't have a set yet). The fence and fence lock are fantastic. The dust collection leaves something to be desired too, but that's not a surprise or in any way unusual for a small portable saw.
As far as the dado is concerned, I grabbed one of these with great success. https://www.amazon.com/Freud-SBOX8-Cutter-4-Inch-grooves/dp/B000ASGV1E/ref=sr_1_1?ie=UTF8&qid=1426348245&sr=8-1&keywords=Freud+SBOX8
