you would have to remove at least 2 at a time and add in a half link, depending on the type of half link, you might have to remove three. Also, the chain might not stretch an entire link before it needs to be fixed. thus, you use a tensioner.
Of course, if there was considerable stretching, removing a section of chain would make sense.
