What would be the wingspan and lifting surface area for a 5kg canard-configuration squid glider?

I need my jet-propelled squid to be an efficient glider, something similar to an albatross but he's built in the canard configuration like a real flying squid (below).
His combined weight is 5 kg
He is jet propelled for launch and evasion only, folding his tentacle-wings forward in a reverse delta during jet-propelled flight.
How wide is his wingspan and what surface area is ideal for sustained gravity-powered flight with a 25:1 glide ratio?
