By default it's 100% of the original width of the pattern. In this case, however, I think the expected behavior is for the path to reproduce the thumbnail of the profile as closely as possible, including its length/width ratio, i.e. you should set "width in terms of length". Or maybe the initial width must correspond to the stroke width of the path before profile is apllied, if it had any stroke.
I would only add on top of that is that currently a lot of combo boxes in Inkscape's UI are higher than expected: in toolbars, in Fill'n'Stroke dialog (marker preview) etc, which is not quite pleasant visually (especially in toolbars, where height of a spinbox is ~2x smaller than height of a combobox). It would be great to have this fixed, of course, not at the cost of quality ;-)
