There are no "formulas".
Generally..smaller hands prefer smaller necks..but not necessarily the same neck shapes.

The "ideal neck profile" is that which you find to be most comfortable.
If it isn't comfortable, it isn't ideal.
Your preferences may change as you get more experienced, but I can't think of anybody who would recommend choosing a profile/neck you are uncomfortable with over one you are already comfortable with.
If it's causing your hand strain/fatigue/pain, it ain't good for you.
