I have run many spans of stuff called Rural C wire down country roads.  It is 
about the same size as flat fiber drop.  You do want to put twists in the span 
to keep it from dancing in the wind.  I cannot think of a reason for a 3 span 
limit.  I know of no limit unless it has to do with the way the strength member 
 distributes the stresses.

I'm looking at running flat drop down a country road, possibly on poles.  The 
specs I've read say not to run more than 3 spans for some reason.  Has anyone 
done this?  Is their better attachment hardware than wedge clamps for this 
application? 

Thanks.

Jason
