For the size of the building where this would maybe be a concern, you are 
usually going to have a hydrant loop that goes around the building. In that 
case it is just as easy to provide multiple lead in connections and probably 
more economical than one central point. 

But no, I do not know of a restriction on the number of risers off of one 
service feed.
