I am planning a 75 gal tank and was wondering how bigger sump i should have?
Well that depends...how much room ya got? Ive seen people w/ a sump twice the size of their display tank. I've seen people w/o a sump at all....just depends on what space limitations you have and what your wanting to do with it.

is it possible to have too much LR?
I would say yes, but someone else might not. I would say if it interferes w/ the water flow through your sump, you have too much. Luckily for you, if you find yourself in this position, you can put it back...

Are there any other factors for Sump size i havn't mentioned other then equipment size and increasing water volume?
What are you wanting to keep in this tank?
