Paul's rule (which is the one I was told) is that you can use

Given that this stuff was often hidden in suspended ceilings
and suchlike, it would be quite tricky to check that adjacent
stripes (or two adjacent stripes) were unused (I assume the rule
applies in both directions. Surely it would have been easier
to miss out the unusuable stripes?
OTOH I don't have any documentation to hand that says one
way or the other but I'd be happy to see it written down
unequivocally somewhere.
I'm pretty sure that the stripes are at 2.5 m.
I'm also pretty sure that the standard says you should have 5 meters
between transcievers.
But I have actually never really understood why. Maybe just to not damage
the cable to much with vampire taps? There cannot be an electrical or
signal reason for this, as far as I can tell.

The rules aren't quite what you said -- the
transceiver
rule is that
you put them on the stripes. You can put
transceivers on adjacent
stripes.
You can, but I was always told (and read somewhere) there
should be two stripes between, not one.
