Is 100m ethernet max from box or last router?

Fibre comes in at the end of the house. Fibre socket connects to BT hub which connects immediately to Apple Extreme which daisychains down our 30m solid stone house using 3 Apple routers. Daughter decided to live in field in mobile home 100m from last router, but 130m therefor from fibre socket.
As ethernet cable max is 100m is it ok to just connect it the last router or is the 'max' measured from the fibre socket? There is a power point half way between (not on same circuit so homeplugs no use) and somebody mentioned using a 'switch' (?) and 2 x 50m ethernet cables.
Please advise if you would?

Your point being?

No idea if the cable in the house is stranded or solid, it was just 'ethernet' to me then! But to link to my daughter i will use solid. But "between points" do you just mean between her and my last router? Still not sure if the point is that or the master socket? Which is your "point"?!

No wired devices, but may have one day! Is a repeater a switch? Certainly at her end I'll just attach a wifi router
