I'd make them the same length as the whip, but you may need to trim them also. Not sure what the angles from horizontal are for the radials, but, from what I see in the photo, you should be ok. As a point of info, as you start to go up in frequency, horizontal/vertical polorization of the antenna becomes more important. 6m is about the top limit where both may work just as well.
