Usual suggestion mentioned here is to put a mark on the tire, say the bottom, then move the tractor until the mark comes up and over, back to the starting position, the length between marks should give you the length. Mind you, recess for tire lugs etc. it may not be precise but should determine easy enough if what you have works, on length, and of course you can add length and cross chains, if short but width is good, or remove if too long. Width, just drape a section over the tire and see what you have.
I'm not aware of a dimension chart for tire size and chain size, been there too, got a deal on a really nice set of double ring chains with double the cross chains, but the length was short and that would have been fine, the width was short and that made them not worth fooling with, CL seller was really nice, was into farmall cubs and other small tractors, was no trouble to take them back, he was sure they'd fit my tire size, said thats what they came off of. Never saw a set with so many cross chains.
There is a tool you can buy to pry the cross chain ends open, + I am sure some other non store bought means to do so to modify them
