Thank you for your quick reply.
Examples are provided in the original KNIME forum thread (
https://tech.knime.org/forum/cdk/cdk-largest-chain-descriptor-inconsistencies#comment-41502),
anyway I can report those here:

2. In some cases terminal atoms seems not to be counted as part of the
largest chain LC (LC Row0 = 0; LC Row2 = 1), while in other cases they are
(LC Row5 = 2; LC Row6 =2).
3. In some cases iso terminal groups are countes as 2 (Row4) while in other
cases are counted as 3 (Row8).

*Molecules:*
"Row0","Cc1nn(c(c1)N)c1nc2c(s1)cccc2"
"Row1","Clc1cnn(c(=O)c1Cl)Cc1[nH]c(=O)c2c(n1)c1ccccc1o2"
"Row2","Nc1c(cn[nH]1)C#N"
"Row3","Fc1ccc(cc1)C(=O)c1ccc(cc1)Oc1ncc(cn1)Br"
"Row4","[O-][n+]1ccc(cc1)[N+](=O)[O-]"
"Row5","OCc1ccccc1CN"
"Row6","COc1ccc(cc1)c1noc(c1)Cn1nc(C)c(c(c1=O)C#N)C"
"Row7","Cc1nc(SCc2nc3ccsc3c(=O)[nH]2)c2c(n1)scc2c1cccs1"
"Row8","CC(=O)c1cccc(c1)Nc1nc(nc2c1cccc2)c1cccnc1"

I hope the examples are quite clear.
