It says right there...The images displayed in the new game dialogue are 152x86.
Since texture dimensions must both be a power of two, your VTFs will be 256x128
with a border to the right and bottom.
That means that the full dimensions of the image will be 256 wide by 128 tall,
but only a portion of that gets used. 152 x 86 to be specific. What you should
do is create your chapter images as 152x86 images, and then either edit that
image's canvas size to 256x128 (but don't scale/stretch the actual image), or
take that 152x86 image and copy it into a new 256x128 image, and just make sure
it is positioned in the top-left. The unused portion of the image should just
be black.

Other than that I'd just use the images from Half-Life 2 as a base.

The two dots means "parent directory". You start in materials/vgui, go
up one to materials, then to materials/logo and
materials/logo/hl2rslogo1.vmt.
