Save-a-dive 'minimum' will always depend on the type of dives you do and the equipment you need, so you can say you have 'minimums'.
For a wetsuit rec dive I'd say:
- o-rings
- silicone grease (maybe optional)
- fin straps (you should carry a spare mask anyway, so I don't consider that to be part of the save-a-dive)
- glue for neoprene
- scuba tools or a multi-tool
As for the maximum, I'd never thought about it in the way @northernone put it, but I have to say she/he's actually right. The maximum is a redundant kit. Or kits, if you want to go full savage.

That's more or less a Murphy's corollary: if something can break at a bad time and you have stuff for an emergency repair, then it will break either at a good time, or that one bad time when you forgot to bring the repair kit with you.Well I don't have the sting treatment, but we don't have a real problem in that area. A good first aid kit is good thing to have around.
The one thing that is ironic about my save a dive kit, is that over the decades I have rarely ever used it on my own gear, mostly yoke O-rings. My buddies, on the other hand, have benefited greatly.
