That's how my bike came from Riv, a section of chain added in with another master link. Works great! When the chain is that long take extra care to size it as short as possible, that helped tremendously with a chain suck problem I was having. I personally use the Sheldon chain sizing, run the chain from big to big ring without going through the r/d, make sure the links overlap by 1 and a half links and set length there.
