Damn, you guys were all over that!  Yes I found it.  second and third number are width between plates and are measured in 1/8's also. 

So 525 would read...
5/8ths pitch
2.5/8ths width between plates.

And Fabr is right a dash and then a number designates number of strands.

So now I am wondering how you determine sprocket width.  if you have a 520 chain then the width between plates is 2/8's or .25".  so do you want a .25" wide sprocket?  that just seems kinda cutting it close to me, but I could be wrong...

Usually there is a little jiggle between it. You need to round the sides of the teeth slightly too. I'm sure the chain is slightly over 1/4 so a 1/4 inch wide sprocket should work.
