Anyone tried 112 link drive chain?

Hi, has anyone tried running a drive chain with 112 links and the standard 16/45 gearing? This would extend the wheel base but I'm wondering if there is enough space to adjust to the correct chain slack.

The extra 2 links would be good to have, probably.
I swap between a 45 and 46 rear sprocket based on the track I'm riding on.
The 46 tooth requires I put the chain on prior to lifting the wheel into place and hassling with the spacers and axel. It's a pain, but I'm too lazy to change my otherwise perfectly good chain.

I haven't tried it on the MT, but I did exactly what you're trying to do to calm down wheelies on my K6 gix1000.
Based on the pic, I think it should still allow for some adjustment range. I'd say it'll move back the pin distance of the chain, so about 16mm would be my guess.
