Assuming your current chain is the correct length, you need 5 more 1/2-links to cover the additional 10 teeth of your new chainring. Since 1/2-links have to be added two at a time to keep the mating ends correct, you will have to add 4 or 6 depending on how much adjustment you have in your rear wheel position in the dropouts.
