The value of ~0.53 pF as given in "High-Speed Digital Design"
is for a 16 mil via with 28 mil annular ring and 50 mil clearance
hole in ground plane (for a 63 mil PCB thickness.)
One can reestimate the capaciatance for other geometries
(C = 1.41*er*T*D1/(D2-D1)).
Microstrip with following geometry has 2.6 pF /inch
(Width = 8 mil, height above ground plane = 6 mil,
thickness = 2.37 mil, er = 4.5)
Hope this helps.
