But what happens if you have a weak ox or a really fast ox? Then the distance would change, affecting the area, no?

Not really, since plotting land would be based off of the average Ox. That just means you'd be done with that field slightly sooner.

The main issue is, over great distances, the chains will stretch so the measurements will end up varying.
