Figuering Chain Length

I bought a new chain for my bike. I didn't have the old one. I went online and found Shelden Browns website. It says to wrap the new chain around the largest sprockets front and rear without routing throught the derailluers. I did this and the chain is to short. How do they account for different length rear derailluer cages anyway. Mine is a 8 speed XT medium cage. Can I piece the chain back together? Or do I have to buy a new one?
Thanks to all that respond..........
