There are two issues here, voltage loss AND RF signal loss.

If I read you right, you can only use one power inserter per pre-amp. the closest location to the amp itself, your example 100 ft from amp. You must also limit the splitting and couplers, adds resistance and rf loss.

But your rf loss over 300 ft is a lot and splitting further at the end without amps is ????

This is not easily done with long cable runs, since the UHF freq. is broad and loss varies over it. A major rf slope will occur and special amps are needed to correct this. If you try to play with this, best suggestion I have is a good rf pre-amp at the antenna and power inserter closest to it THEN a distribution splitter amp with adjustable gain to split to TV's.

You are entering area of cable distribution design!
