Largest (safe) tablet size?

Naturally, having a sturdy mount is essential, and dimensions of the pilot can factor in. But for most of us in the "average" height and size range, how large of a tablet will safely sit on the center of the yoke without posing a danger (hitting your hands, flopping off/over, etc)? I myself would be looking a 51 year-old yoke, to be specific.

I use iPad 6th gen (A1954) 9.7” in RAM mount—works great, lasts a long time.

Thank. And good to hear-- same size I'm fixing to use, in Samsung form. I assume that's in portrait orientation at that size?

The RAM mount can go either way I think, but I've only ever used it in landscape mode.
77 G model yoke.

Edit: add/remove photos (wrong photos)

iPad Mini

I am using an iPad mini with a ram mount - sits right in the middle of the yoke, just a little off-center to the right so it does not impede the left hand on the yoke. I will attach a photo later this week so you can see. I went with the mini so that I would not have the tablet block out any switches or instruments, but a full size iPad would work as well - I am just a little particular.
