In the ship plans section of this websit, you can find a rigging table based on information from the book The 100 gunship Victory. In this book the original tables used by the English Navy for the rigging of Victory ships are listed at the end. The table contains the rope numbers listed in this table + the rope numbers listed in the plan where I have plotted the blocks. The name of the rope, the actual diameter of the rope, and the conversion to that scale are given for the respective ropes. And the size of the blocks for that scale, and the type of blocks.
However, if you find it difficult to search this table, I am sending a simplified listing of rope usage by Amati:
