Tor uses encryption mode that does not increase data size with encryption. No Tor can use up to 8 hops if you make changes to it, but it has limitation built into the network itself though preventing longer circuits. The pattern can be picked out even with others using the nodes. I don't waste any more time to argue with you about this, go do some research or keep living in your fantasy world makes no difference to me. I am fine knowing that all published research papers agree with what I say and your opinions come from some incorrect 'facts' that you have made up in your own head.
