Thats a big jump in gear ratio, you might want to whack a 17t on the back if you are going to run 48t.
As for chain length, you could just add 6 links to the length of your old chain. Most chains come with multi use links like powerlinks or z links so just try longer, then remove 2 links if its too long until you get it right
