The only rule that I ever follow is to never feed a splitter with another splitter.

The signal level will drop real fast. Take a 2-port splitter that has 3.5dB loss per port, one splitter will cut your signal level by half, add a second splitter and the signal is cut by half again. You need up with a signal level that is only a quarter of what you started with.
