Can a spider box for temp power be hard wired into a panel with 100 foot s/o cord or do I need to have receptacles at each side for it?

I don't know how code approved it has ever been but it has never been a problem with my inspectors.

As far as physical damage, every mine and gravel pit is wired up with SO cord and as far as I know all the cords are MSHA rated. You can't get any more exposed to damage than those places.
 
Dunno, where I use spider boxes (events, not construction) we've always wired in a 5' pigtail with a connector (where there isn't a permanent recept.) and use 50' 6/4 SO cables with cap/connector. Besides, I'm not a big guy and hate carrying 100' spider box cables.
