Every 16 chain revolutions the same tooth on the SMALL sprocket contacts the same chain link = 0% optimal wear rate
Every 16 chain revolutions the same tooth on the LARGE sprocket contacts the same chain link = 0% optimal wear rate

The lower the chain revolutions, the more frequently each chain link engages the same sprocket tooth, so greater and more uneven the wear.
When changing sprockets, you can adjust Chain Links to maintain (nearest to) current Sprocket Centers (e.g. to keep motorcycle rear wheel within adjustment range).

Check Lock Centers and adjust sprockets - Chain links will adjust to maintain nearest to current Sprocket Centers.

Don't cut it, or cut it wet so there's NO DUST - Silicosis Sucks
And if you're cutting wet, wear a mask - there's dust in the spray mist too!
