You have all the necessary information needed.

Try drawing a picture of your cable using the data you have supplied to get a clearer idea, then add up the thicknesses. Alternatively look at the data sheet for the cable overall diameter.

If all else fails, ask your secretary.

add all but the conductor diameter together, multiply times 2, add conductor diameter, there's your answer.
