With weight distribution systems you need to run the same amount of chain lengths on both sides so that the spring bar tension is the same for both sides of the trailer. There would be no reason to run different chain link lengths and it would be unsafe.
I attached a link to a page that has more info on weight distribution systems for you to check out as well.
