Am I correct, then, in assuming that women who don't manage to secure recommendations to ALL chapters have less of a chance than those who secure one to each chapter (even though they have recommendations to at least half of the chapters)?

It's math. You don't know which chapters will cut you or why, but if the first cut chapters make is "girls without recs" you're out of half of them immediately. Getting recs for every chapter puts you on even footing with all of them and maximizes your chances.
Not getting recs doesn't mean you won't get a bid, (nor does getting recs guarantee you a bid) but it's all about giving yourself the best chance with every chapter that you can.
