You may not be able to get the passes where you pay for 5 and get 7, but you should be able to secure chairs even in high season, if you're there by 9:30 or so.

The chair guys come around to the individual chairs to collect your money, unless you are on the multi-day pass and even then, they come around to the individual chairs to collect your chit from your book and they put the tag on your chair each day. I'm not sure right now where they sell the multi-day pass, that may be at watersports, but I thought it was at the store. Chairs are not reserved at Club O by putting down towels. If you are talking about people who are staying at Club O putting down Club O towels to reserve chairs for you, they only give out one towel per person, so your friends will not have any extra Club O towels to put down on chairs, even if they wanted to. Regardless, chairs at Club O are reserved only by either a daily tag or the tags which those staying there are given for the duration of their stay. I would not count on any chair being reserved just with a towel on it. Regardless, unless you have to have a chair in the front row, I don't really think you'll have that much of a problem getting a chair on the beach.

I'm going to add a couple of points here. When we were there for 2 weeks last month, the Club O beach was a lot more crowded than usual, especially for low season - most likely because of the closure of some of the other bars on the beach. When the 4 of us got there at 10 am on several days, it was quite difficult to find chairs, and harder to find umbrellas. We managed, but it wasn't easy. Hopefully, by the time you go, the construction will be over and things will get back to normal. However, I would still advise getting there no later than 9 in high season.
As for towels on the chairs, no. Only tags (or you physically sitting there waiting for the chair guys to come by) will reserve your chair. We saw people removing towels from otherwise empty and untagged chairs when we were there. We heard one of the Club O guys telling another couple that it was okay for towels to be removed as those chairs had not yet been paid for and it was obvious no one was physically there yet. So best advice is get there early.
