There is two options to specify an orthographic camera (after the
opening keyword "orthographic") :
 1. direction+right+up :(not for you), length of direction is
irrelevant, length of right is the number of povunit for the width,
length of up is the number of povunit for the height.

 2. same+specify an angle. At that moment, the length of direction
become as meaningful as for the perspective camera, and only the ratio
between up & right is kept (their length is "recomputed" from the
direction's length).

It's all there (for 3.7RC6):

Default values are at the top of the page (angle is about 67.380° for a
4/3 default perspective camera, but it must be explicitly using at least
"angle" keyword in orthographic if you want to use the second computation)
