Default What size chain fits under seat?

Hi, I have read the threads on locks/chains and some of you mention that you use one that fits under the seat. I'm looking for a chain to use when I'm out and about, can anyone tell me the biggest diameter/length chain that fits under the seat?

Curvy or Pointy? A Squire MC4 1.2 metre folds up just nicely under the pillion seat of a pointy.

I wouldn't have got anything bigger under my seat. That's putting the end of the chain ride down under the riders seat to the battery box, and folding it concertina style up the top of the undertray, and tucking the end of the chain over the top before putting the pillion seat back on.

I'd prefer to keep it under the seat than a chain carrier. I found an am-tech 2mx10mm chain at home which just fits so I'll use that for now. Thanks for your help.
