Default herringbone straps instead of noggins

These herringbone straps look like a pretty convenient way of avoiding
timber noggins.

Question is, how many should I use on a 4.2m span?

One either end and one in the middle? One every 900mm ?

Any sugegstions welcome.

Cheers
Chris

On mine (same span) I had one run of them down the middle, this was
fine for BCO, :-) 22mm chip floor on the top and all is well :-)
