Spare area needed for ECC would be ECC * M, where M is (codeword <= 2^m-1).  In this case M=14, because (1100*8)<=2^14-1, therefore minimum spare area needed is 14*24 = 336b or 42B per codeword.  So for this device a minimum of 672bytes of the 1216 need to be used for ECC, the rest can be used for other purposes.
