So far as I'm concerned, you're welcome to put a jump drive in a vessel that's under 100 DTons. However, the drive can't be smaller than 2 DTons (nobody has managed to make a smaller one that works), and it will always consume at least 10 DTons of H2 per parsec of jump. That is to say, your jump drive and fuel are as if the ship was 100 DTons if it's smaller than that. For my current game I use GURPS Spaceships plus houserules for ship design, but the same principle applies.
