I generally "guestimate" the sulfite level by using 1 campden tablet per gallon at every other racking and at bottling.
If that's the first time you added sulfites, it wouldn't be a bad idea to use some more when you bottle, assuming you're planning on aging the wine for a while. If you're planning on drinking the wine within 6-8 months or so, I wouldn't bother.
