Referring specifically to 10BaseT, and nothing else...

You can run a _total_ cable length, including patch leads from your
network wall point, of 100 metres from hub point to NIC _for each port on
the hub_.

So yes - you can run 1 PC 100 metres from the hub, and another PC 100
metres from the hub, and they'll work fine.
