Hi Jim Theo, we've talked before. 1mm toe in means TOTAL toe. I had the same question and got the answer from Prodrive awhile back.
As far as converting mm's into minutes, I'll leave that for someone else who has the formula and the inclination! (The shop where you're going to have the alignment done should be able to do the conversion, that is if you trust them!)

Jim ,
I used to run the PD settings car very stable. I know have whitelines recommended:
FR 1.5 camber 0 toe
RR 0.5 camber -1mm toe per side (2mm toe out total)
I find car much more responsive now and braking stability is still xlent. (BTW when i plastiras i had a +2mm FR and +4mm FL toe due to al wishbone fitting! due to no tracking)

The camber is the important thing, much more than the toe. Standard alignment is 0 + or - 3mm, so 1mm is well inside the factory limits. A quick sum says 1mm (0.5mm per side) = about 0.6 degrees (= 3.6 minutes). Changing from 16" to 17" would mean changing the toe from 0.5mm per side to 0.53mm per side - probably not even measurable.
