You want to get 2 workers per mineral patch and 3 workers per gas. This is if you want to be efficient.
You can go up to 3 workers per mineral patch where the 3rd worker only adds half the rate of the first two (I think.), Anyway, any more than 3 workers per patch is a waste.
So in your case, 16 workers is a good number for the typical 8-mineral patch bases.
