Current;y I need to have a 2nd DB box. For wiring from main DB to 2nd DB 10mm is sufficient or 16mm is bit overkill? Mainly for 4 airconds (three 1HP and one 1.5HP), 1 water pump and 1 water heater storage type.

If your sub DB is not too far from the main, use the thicker wire. Not that much added cost, and your loading on sub db looks heavy! Especially if you happen to use them all...

Because RCBO rating of 16A seems too low if your heater is high power; and 25A is too high rating for most “developer quality” cable provided.
