the Mazdatrix website has a description of how many feet of each kind of vacuum hose you'll need, if you have to you can also source the various heater hoses, radiator hoses and other random coolant lines and even OMP lines from them as well.
You can always just by hose by the foot at any car parts store whether it's fuel hose or heater hose, they can order the stock hoses as well probably.
The specifics like exactly how many pieces of vac hose you need will depend on your setup, just buy the 15 ft and start hooking stiff up, not that hard really.

mostly 5/32" and maybe some 3/16" except for the big stuff like the brake booster. Always use the smallest possible that will fit (hence the 5/32")... loosely fitting vacuum lines, even ones with a ziptie, WILL leak under boost. I've done a lot of pressure testing to confirm this.
I think it's 5/16 id fuel hose that can be used to replace all of the stuff in the engine bay. Get a cheap digital caliper off ebay, they're great for measuring random items in the engine bay for fittings, hoses, etc...
