For plain whole stitch or half stitch spiders, as a general rule I twist the legs the same number of times as there are legs coming in from each side, so for a spider with 2 legs coming in from each side I twist twice, for three from each side twist 3 times and so on. Seems to work.
Doesn't apply for spider ground, when I always twist twice, or for other types of spider (such as spider with a hole, haloed spider), when I judge by appearance.
