A typical bike chain, changed when needed, no.

I have seen chains streach over 2 links in length *note, not a motorcycle chain* BUT I have had an ATV chain that streached over a full link. And for someone that doesn't know any better, it could be a problem. And I know you can recut it, but that is more time and effort. It takes all of 30 seconds to count the links, and then you know its right.

Measure twice... cut once...
