My bodged triple bike (Shimano) has a chain that's too long and nothing bad happens when you shift into small-small. It just make some funny noises. Worst case it comes off.
If you have a chain that's too short for big-big, if you accidentally shift into that gear the whole lot seizes up and your rear mech may experience fiery death.
