I've cut my new MTB chain 1 link longer than it was. What difference will I notice with these new fangled clutched RDs? How much excess chain can they cope with? Figured I'd try running an extra link as if I have to cut it down, I've already got more to play with, but I don't know how far I can push it. No idea how optimal it was to begin with.
Obviously you should make it the right length, but unless it's actually too long now, which is unlikely, you'll not really notice, and your reasons for having a touch long make sense.
