I did hard line from the cell to pump to surge tank on the original fuel system on my Falcon, and I don't recall seeing anything regarding amount, style or spacing of the clamps in the NHRA rule book. I would counsel just using common sense (you have a ton of that) and a sense of style so you don't have any droopys in your line.
One thing I would verify is the portion of line that passes the flywheel / flexplate area. That needs to be enclosed in a steel casing or run outside of the frame rails IIRC. I'm at work and don't have a rule book close. I can check that tonight if no one else chimes in. Plus I don't recall if that is still a requirement if you are using steel braided, but I think it is.
Take pictures.
