Is there a standard for supplying AC power to the track ? how many feet of track can one a set of wires cover reasonably assuming good rail connections, etc. ? Example should you have a new wire drop every x # of lineal feet

I assume you're talking about DCC power? Some folks put a feeder on every piece of (flex) track. The DCC book Kalmbach puts out recommends no more that 6' or so between drops (if memory serves).
