I would also refer you to Carol Deppe's book (unless someone knows an online version of her chart), where for a given odd she gives how many plants to plant out for a 95% certainty and a 99% certainty of getting what you're looking for.
I think that same information is also given at Keith Mueller's website in a very different way where he explains and gives numbers as to how many gens need to be grown out to give different percentages of purity.

Go to Culture, there go to tomato gene basics, read that and then click on the segregation link at bottom of that.
