Sliding wardrobe door fitting

Hi all, I am in the process of doing a rush decorating job in the bedroom and need to have it papered before Sunday.
I am installing sliding wardrobe doors and need to build a wooden frame to fill the gap between the top track of the doors and the ceiling.

Here's the problem,
I have not purchased the doors or track yet but know the height of the doors will be 2220mm (wickes).
Has anyone any idea how much I would need to allow for the height of the doors plus the top and bottom track so I can install the top frame, plasterboard it and paper over it?

Thanks in advance.
