I'd think it would depend on the length of the chain and the length of the bike's chainstays.

standard chain
Which standard? Some are 112 links and others are 116. 112 will be tight on 52/42 unless your stays are under 390mm. You can always make a longer chain from two short ones, using two quicklinks.

Looking to build up a 1x system on a roadbike.
Going to get an apex 1 derailleur and shifter. Also going with the 1030 11-42t cassette.
Theoretically with a standard chain what is the largest chainring I could run?
I have a carbon chainset that's 130bcd and their cx1 chainrings smallest tooth count is 52 in that bcd.
Will I get away with it?
