Will I need to combine 2 of the HL710's to fit a bike with 48x18 gearing?
No. A link is a single 1/2" long piece of the chain between pins. On a normal chain what we commonly call a "full" link is actually two links, one inner and one outer. A half link is a hybrid that is outer at one end and inner at the other end. So, your half link chain with 100 links will be the same length as a regular chain with 100 links.
