That is more than you need. You can comfortably maintain fleet 2.5 times the capacity of the hangar, even 3 times if you are careful about it. Just keep rotating the fleets through the station.
I build a small hangar early, for maintaining my survey fleets and scouts. One of the VERY nice things about hangars instead of maintenance bases is you can always get your ships out of a hangar immediately, instead of cancelling an overhaul.
