Holes can be up to 60% in a non-load bearing wall or 40% in a load bearing. If you double up the studs you can push it to 60% for 2 consecutive studs only. Holes should be dead center.

Maybe you can transition to rectangular or oval shaped duct to get through the studs? But hiding dryer venting is typically a bad idea in general (it needs to be cleaned). I might consult a pro to get their opinion on this one.
