I'm not shure about the Overland drive but on our TLS-4480 it can be
just about anything (up to some max length that I don't know). Just try
printeing som labels put them on some tapes and try reading them using
'mtx status'. One thing that bit my (up to dumping SCSI packets and
decoding them by hand) was the need for checksums in the code39 labels
but it should be documented with your drive.

I have no clue, just use a ruler to measure the space on a tape and then
look in some label catalog for something fitting.
