At the time my house was built, you told the builder where you
wanted the power outlets, etc. The electrical code specified the
maximum number of outlets you could have on the one run -- IIRC
it was 15. There was nothing about a minimum number.

I don't know whether there is anything today in the building
codes here about minimum numbers of points and where they should
be. I suspect that its the same as it was then.
