Here is the chart I found from the company I ordered mine from with the equivalent to round wire. I haven't used ribbon for rba I just ordered some .8 yesterday for my cable wick setup I am trying which is about 28 awg from ebay temco which is where pretty much everyone orders from.

0.4 32 awg
0.5 31 awg
0.6 30 awg
0.7 29 awg
0.8 28 awg
0.9 x 0.1 27 awg

I use ribbon wire and set my rba's at .6-.8 and i use .01 x .05 ribbon wire.

This chart should be of some help. Credit for creation of this chart goes to Jacoji.

Keep in mind all data here is for Kanthal D, so the numbers will differ slightly for A1, A & other grades.
