Here's the bible on this:

With 12 reasonably active players and no antes, you can expect the tournament to end when blinds are around 100k/200k or 150k/300k. You'll probably start your structure at 1k/2k (150xBB starting stacks is only slightly on the deep side - I like it!), so you just need them to increase such that you get to 150k/300k around the 5.5 hour mark.
Personally, I like the blinds to double at a constant rate: usually 2 levels (if levels have the same duration) or every 30 minutes (my levels vary in duration because I want to have them doubling every 3 levels when they get big; makes the step size between levels more manageable) or something like that ...
