Look at 97.4 where it explains the schematics.

However, although 97.4 states that all wire is specified in AWG, all but
the earliest diagrams are in mm^2 -- easy to tell apart because they will
be (mostly) small numbers with decimals instead of large numbers without.

Here are rough equivalents:
Square mm       AWG
1.0             17
1.5             15
2.5             13
4.0             11
6.0             10+
10.0            7
...
50              0
70              2/0

Since AWG wire doesn't ordinarily come in odd sizes, use the next
smaller-numbered available size.
