The width of my head is about 8 inches. So i count 5 stiles on porch landing. 8 inches x 5stiles= 40" . Each stile i estimate is 2" wide. 2" x 5stiles = 10". Then 40" + 10" = 50". So i'm thinking the landing (porch width) is roughly 4' 2" wide

I used my head width because if happen to stick into between the stiles i wouldn't want to get my head stuck there. But check with your local building codes to see how far apart the stiles should actually be in
