And no fair going to market with this, it's Tomity's idea and my hack.

That's very cool. I guess I could have done something like that, too. I always get real tense hoping it won't pop off.

So, using this method, can one length of chain work for multiple cogs teeth counts (i.e 14t, 15t, 16t, 17t, 18t...)?

This might be worth a shot. Heck, all I gotta do is add a few more links to the long piece, unhook 2 master links, and re-config.
