Long chains are the norm in 'bentland - tandem synch chains are too short for many 'bents - but a chain for the proposed project would be outasite long. If the routing is reasonably staight, an idler or two, or three (!), could keep things under control. All kinds of idlers available from Terracycle (http://www.t-cycle.com/). Good luck.
