Dear Jacob,

I do not have exactly what you are asking about but some clues.

I am not fond of using buried surface area as an indicator of anything in 
particular and always use energy estimates, however unreliable they may be. In 
J.Comp.Chem. 31(1),133-143, I put a probability plot for PISA to give erroneous 
oligomeric states as a function of complex's free energy (page 141, long-dashed 
line). In page 138, there's a plot showing correlation between free energy (as 
estimated by PISA) and buried surface energy. Combining the two, you may get a 
rough answer to your question :)

Hope this helps,

Eugene.
