Overloaded Street Spasm doesn't target.  It deals X damage to all nonflying creatures you don't control.

X is a single number.  You must pay it twice (as well as RR).  So the amount of mana you spend on an overloaded Street Spasm must be even.

If you paid a total of 4 mana (including at least 2 red), you would deal 1 damage to each nonflying creature you don't control.
If you paid a total of 6 mana (including at least 2 red), you would deal 2 damage to each nonflying creature you don't control.
There is no way to spend 5 mana on overloaded Street Spasm.
There is no way to target two creatures with one Street Spasm.
There is no way to deal different amounts of damage to different creatures with one overloadede street spasm (short of separate effects to prevent some damage)

Chandra's ability is one you do in advance of casting a spell, not after it (too late) or in response to it (can't use Planeswalker loyalty abilities on a non-empty stack).

If you had a spell that had multiple targets and you had activated Chandra's -2, you'd be able to choose new targets for the copy, sure.  Says right there on Chandra.  But again, overloaded Street Spasm doesn't target.  And if you only have 5 mana, the bext you can do is either use Chandra, Street Spasm Overloaded for 1, then copy it, dealing 1 damage to all nonflying creatures you don't control twice... or use Chandra's -2, cast Street Spasm non-overloaded for up to 4 targetting a single creature, and the copy of it dealing 4 damage to another single creature.

you choose X first, here you could only choose X=1 and pay (leaving floating) and the original and the copy will each deal 1 damage to each creature your opponent's control (2 damage to each in total)

note: there's no attacks here

can 1 target the original spells to 1d sage 2d rogue and target the copies 2+1=3 to thief ? 

no, first off Chandra's ability doesn't target anything, it just copies the next instant/sorcery spell that you cast 

secondly, you can't cast Spasm like that (X is the same value everywhere on the card)
