Chapter 2 Wiring and Protection
ARTICLE 210 Branch Circuits
III. Required Outlets
210.52(H)
(H) Hallways. In dwelling units, hallways of 3.0 m (10 ft) or more in length shall have at least one receptacle outlet.
As used in this subsection, the hallway length shall be considered the length along the centerline of the hallway without passing through a doorway.
Only one per code as long as there is no door way in between.
When I first read your comment I pictured a door along the wall. If that is what you meant, then it is incorrect. If you meant a doorway breaking up the hallway in to two sections then I agree. I think that is why the code uses the exact words it does about passing through a doorway.
