You may check the sources shipped with the Arduino IDE. –  Thomas S. Apr 4 at 16:35
    
The size of the buffer and the size of the biggest string you can send are not necessarily related (if they are, that's really lazy programming on someone's part) –  Chris Stratton Apr 6 at 16:24

That would be 64 bytes, providing the buffer is fully empty. See https://github.com/arduino/Arduino/blob/master/hardware/arduino/avr/cores/arduino/HardwareSerial.h#L42-L43
