for a daisy-chain implementation you just need 1 cable from master to the expansion switch.

Also making a complete ring of all stack-ports will add stacking bandwith between the slots, the stackconnections are all used for unicast traffic, only for broadcast and multicast 1 port is blocked.

In order to build a stack all you need is one. This will place the stack in a daisy chain stacking topology. If you would like full redundancy I would recommend the ring stacking topology which requires two cables for a two switch stack.
