Can Chesham take 8 coach trains?

It can take a full-length A stock. I don't have the measurements of A
stock and S8 stock to hand, but I am sure that an S8 will fit easily
in the platform; the starter signal is well beyond the platform edge
anyway so track circuits may not be a problem.

Yes: I believe it's the bay at Chalfont that can only take short trains.

If nothing was getting out of London, nothing would be sent into London: the
trains turned short would go to Amersham and Chesham alternately.

It already does - the current peak hour City through trains are 8
cars.

Yes

Presumabley that is why they are running the trains through to the city as
the S stock wont fit the bay platform.

It only has one platform these days though. At one time it could take an 8
car and a 4 car train at the same time.
