How many chains are the best? chain_len = ?
I read somewhere at tor browser, that more than 4 is not good so I guess it applies the same to proxychains?
the default setting is chain_len = 2.

Tor default is three hops: Entry - Relay - Exit (not addressing hidden services). The reason they chose three is that every hop inserts delay and failure possibilities. Three is the minimum necessary to provide strong anonymity while maximizing performance.
If you are creating your own Tor-like multi-hop relay, even if you implement it perfectly, you've created a unique system where all the proxies know that they are talking to at least one other proxy and you are the only one, or at best one of few, using that multi-hop approach.
If a single proxy does not meet your needs, consider using Tor directly instead of your own toy version.
