When you create a logical drive in Virtualbox (VDI), unfortunately it takes
space from harddisk only.
The logical disks will be stored *$HOME/.VirtualBox/HardDisks *folder. You
can copy to some other place and even swap around different operating
systems.

If you have less space, then allocate around 6-7 GB (10GB should be great).
But problem with Windows XP is we cant have complete control over the growth
of the size. It keeps growing fast as we install applications.
