The code does not address that issue.

They need to be far enough apart to put the locknuts on.

Put them too close together and you will make Swiss cheese of the PVC with possible mechanical consequences, but, as said, the NEC does not address that....
Unless of course the manufacturer puts such a limit in their installation instructions.

Not sure what you mean by the designations entry and exit. Are you referring to the feeder to a panel and the branch circuits leaving it?
The only thing I can think of that applies is that you cannot put service and non-service conductors in the same raceway. I think that would apply to an open cable tray too.
yes. but is there any code for it?
