Default How much to slip the clutch to not damage parts

How long does a racing clutch need to slip to not damage rest of powertrain?

By clutch slip, I mean how long from time clutch is released by driver until 100% clutch lock-up.

100% clutch lock-up is defined by ratio of engine rpm/driveshaft rpm is a consistent number until gear change.

Should it be 0.05 sec, 0.1 sec, 0.5 sec, or longer?

Not asking for clutch tuning secrets, just trying not to damage everything else during the learning curve.
