We derive an extension of Pastjin's characterisation to uniform decomposable chains of small transfinite rank (less than or equal to 'omega+omega'). We conclude by indicating how the resulting descriptions can be iterated to chains of rank 'omega to the omega', and beyond.71 pagesCombinatorics06A05text
