About the relationship between the reciprocal and real spaces, you can find
in some book of Solid State, authors like Ashcroft or Kittel. In order to
select the number of k-points you need to do convergence of the total energy
(or your observable) respect the number of k-points...!!! The same criteria
to select the optimal value of cut-off energy and perhaps also for the
length of the third vector (z direction) because you should consider the
periodicity of QE.
Best.
