contents The LYM inequality is a fundamental result concerning the sizes of subsets in a Sperner family. Subsequent studies on the LYM inequality have been generalized to families of $r$-decompositions, where all components are required to avoid chains of the same length. In this paper, we relax this constraint by allowing components of a family of $r$-decompositions to avoid chains of distinct lengths, and derive generalized LYM inequalities across all the relevant settings, including set-theoretic, $q$-analog, continuous analog, and arithmetic analog frameworks. Notably, the bound in our LYM inequalities does not depend on the maximal length of all forbidden chains. Moreover, we extend our approach beyond $r$-decompositions to $r$-multichains, and establish analogous LYM inequalities.
