I wouldn't bet anything on using half-links. Although there is a sprocket center distance equation, that was posted by Matt Adams, will help you acheive a better placement of your sprockets, your chain will eventually strech. My experience with chain is that you will have very little luck with longer lengths, over two feet, because the chain will strech without a method of tensioning. A tensioner can be rather bulky and complex. Slotted plates are simple and quite effective to help keep your chain on track.
