You can increase the size of the logs to 100MB/102400kb (or a max of 400mb/419424KB).  But you should see what is beeing logged; if the items are serious enough, they should be addressed.  If its just a lot of 'junk' and the potential for attempts to compromise the XP is minimal, you can probably keep it about this config 100mb with overwrites for events older than 7 days.  On a normal machine that should be more than ample space to contain 7 days worth of logs.
