In a DCC system without blocks, how often should the feeders be spaced.

Every piece of rail. For me, there are no compromises here.

If there is continuous rail or soldered joints between the feeders, 6 feet. If not, then as needed to ensure you aren't relying on unsoldered joints to carry the signal.
Your mileage may vary, on approved credit, void where prohibited by law, etc.
