There really is no "full size" viola. It isn't like a violin or cello that goes in fractions. YOu can usually get violas up to about an 17. After that it's really difficult to find larger violas. I guess technically a full size would be a 15. It's also usually the easiest to find.
The viola is one-seventh in size of the violin, and the violin is one-fifth higher in pitch.
