Sprocket Sizes vs 525 Chain Lengths

Dear All

Can anyone advise me of the following, without upsetting wheelbase/ride height outside of Ducati recommendations:

1. Maximum rear sprocket size with standard chain and 14T front
2. Assuming I stick with a 14T front, the steps in chain length vs. rear sprocket size

I used to run my race Mille at 15/44 (0.34) or 15/46 (0.326), which was fantastic for acceleration and actually more manageable than you'd think for short circuit work, being able to keep up with R1's and Blades. At the minute my 998S is only 14/36 (0.388) and it really feels like it's straining to unleash good acceleration on short circuits against low-geared 750's and 900's.

Any definitive advice would be welcome.
