Can't increase chain length as rear hanger won't handle a longer chain.
For several years I had gearing that my rear derailleur could not take up all the slack. But I did not want to risk accidently shifting to the big and big and damaging anything. So, I had enough links that I could not use the smallest chainring and two smallest sprockets.
In my case it was the standard 11/32 cassette, but I removed the 30T granny gear from my road triple crank and put a 24T chainring on it.
