20 bricks seems reasonable. Since I build 6 brick floors (it enables me to
use the 1x2x5 tall bricks as elevator doors, and still have a way to secure
them) that would give me 6 bricks for each level, 2 plates for each floor,
times 3, to 20 bricks off the main floor.
How about getting really crazy with the connecting corridors and do them
diagonally? Now THAT would look cool, eliminate the worries with left and
right hand corridors, and force people to get really creative with
connections :)
