I have thought about this many times, as some Churches read longer chapters than others, I can't really say that prayers are granted base on the long reading of chapters.
I think in bothers on belief and purpose.
Just my opinion.

I doubt if more chapters lead to any thing better, at least there is no where in the bible such is specified. I think what is said time without number is meditating in the word of God.

Bible always requires interpretation as people have been advised not to read bible as novel or ordinal books.
Reading bible I think needs critical think guided by knowledgeable persons. But it bothers on who is interpreting or guiding you about it as that is where the problem is. As anybody can interpret any verse to suit his/her life style. Of course judging by experience with religious leaders you’re expected to take as it, as questioning things with logical thing will make them call you carnal person, thus leading to serious argument.
