Its mostly a gut feeling Byron when working out the mileage combined with some common sense. On tarmac I go on what the route planner says and add in a little extra for breaks.
Off road section it tends to be 150-200km a day average, less in the mountains more in good flat desert. Our first day from Smara south will be over 250km roughly, but I've done this day twice now so I know after a rocky bit to start you get out onto big wide desert and can safely double the speed.
Time wise I tend to work on a 8 - 10 hour day from leaving in the morning to stopping at night, including stops.
Not being on a fixed 3 week break means this trip can be more leisurely generally
