"LocalTalk twisted-pair cable supports a maximum of 32 devices and allows 
 transmission speeds of up to 230.4 kilobits per second (Kbps).  A LocalTalk
 network can span up to a total of 1000 feet."
"A cable extender is an adapter that joins two cable.  LocalTalk cable comes
 in 10- and 25-meter lengths."

I would extrapolate that there should be no problem with what you would like
to do provided that you don't go beyone the 1000 feet limit.  About the only 
thing I would say is that these are specs with the Apple provided wiring, if 
you are using PhoneNet or similar stuff you will need to find out the limits
for that hardware.
