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

You can buy ready made metal ones.
