40 and 20 teeth toothed pullies are the same ratio as we use in real life

3 1/4 studs or something? You'd have to do it vertically, I guess, to get half

Works well with 3 bricks vertical offset, 1 stud horizontal.

There is also 12 + 24, but that suffers from a similar problem. The best I can
come up with is 1 brick vertical, 2 studs horizontal, but there's a little too
much play.

Sadly I don't think you can run a chain over the 20 tooth gears, if they're
the ones I'm thinking of.

No, chain links cannot be used with double-bevel gears :(
