What happens is that dask first constructs chunks of size specified in open_mfdataset and then breaks those up to new chunk sizes specified in the .chunk() call.

A similar behaviour is present for repeated chunk calls .chunk().chunk(), these do not get optimized to a single chunk call yet.

So yes, you should pass appropriate chunk sizes in open_mfdataset
