It's been a long time, but I think that coupling value has to be determined
by running simulations on a model system, and comparing the results to some
experimental data. The general approach of EVB is to establish parameters on
a simple or small system (comparing to experiment or quantum chemistry), and
then to assume that using the same parameters in a more complex environment
(e.g. in solvent, or in a solvent/enzyme environment) will allow one to
assess the effect of the complex environment on the reaction.

That said, I don't have any detailed help to offer about to estimate this
parameter.
