Sounds like the chain has two extra links than it should have for the standard sprockets. That would explain the lack of available adjustment left. With an unworn chain with two extra links you should still be able to get the right amount of chain slack of 40mm with the bike on the centre stand. You can check the chain wear by carefully measuring pin centres over 16 links, which should be 10 inches. If it is 1/16 " more the chain is shot at. Another easy check is to see if you can pull the chain away from half way round the back sprocket. There shouldn't be much movement there.
Plenty of posts on here about fitting new chain and front sprocket nut but if in doubt just ask. Just remember to undo the front sprocket nut before removing the old chain.
