What the heck is a "wide link". I know now, you mean outer plates. You should NEVER put several master links (outer plates) next to one another on a chain and of course you need the inner plates and rollers to go with it, to make one inch of chain.
With modern flush-pin chains there really is no good way to add one inch of chain.
