Yes, there is a way. Go to
%LOCALAPPDATA%\Google\Chrome\User Data\Default
You will find a file called "Preferences." Open the file with a text editor. You will see the list of 8 tabs at the bottom. Just modify the locations, i.e. the site that you want to appear.

Looks like an extension called Speed Dial is the answer.

To answer your second question:
is it possible to increase the number of thumbnails that appear?
It seems that Google has overlooked this very simple setting.
However, there are various 3rd party extensions/plugins to get more than 8 thumbnails (as well as bookmarks, sticky notes, etc). Note that extensions can sometimes cause Chrome to crash; that's why I minimize the use of them.
and there's even more.

EASY - I just did it. Open one Chrome browser to the thumbnails page. Open another to the page you want to add. Click on the title bar of the page you want to add, and drag it to the thumbnail on the other page. Ta dah!
