How big would a pair of wings need to be to allow an adult human to fly in a given environment?

Assuming the world described here: Making the Enterprise Fly (60% of earth's gravity, 50% denser atmosphere) what is the wingspan needed to allow an average adult human to fly?

Assume feathery wings, and that the resulting winged human needs to be able to fly well, not just founder through the air technically flying.
