There will be a 16" option, however things to remember, you will have a drop in power, so you need to keep the chain sharp, the oiling system will probably on its limit.

I recommend contacting your local authorized service center for assistance.
You may contact the manufacturer, download manuals, check fuel/oil ratios, order parts, find your local service center, and view other resources using these links:
Remove the bar and chain after releasing the chain brake. Clean the engine case where the bar fits next to and start the engine--oil should ooze out of the port in the case. If it squirts out, there should be an adjustment screw head that is located in the rear of the case near the returning chain area. Turn the screw CW to reduce oil delivery. Clean the small oil passages in the drive end of the bar that run from the large holes out to the chain groove on each edge. When everything is re-assembled, start the engine and run it at speed with the bar tip near some cardboard for a moment or two. It should throw off a thin line of oil. Adjust the volume screw until you achieve that result. Hope this helps!
It usually is on the bar. Or in the model number (MCC1635AK) typically means 16" chain, 35cc engine. Taking the chain off and while still in a loop, stretch it out and you will find a 16" should be about 18-19" long.
in some cases yes, depends if it will physically mount in the same manner, however putting a longer chain on a saw designed for a shorter chain is tougher on the engine, the cc size of the engine is designed to pull on size chain, it may not pull the longer chain as well
