The short answer is yes, you can add wires & track connectors further from the
lego power box. There are 3 options, and you have layed out 2 of them- adding
wires from one power pack, seperating the track into 2 or more sections using
different power packs, or going to DCC (which kind of requires #1 as well...).
DCC is a hack of lego, but it allows for multi train operation. There is a
program for RCX 1.0's, but it still requires the modification of the lego train
motors.
For a longer answer, search for: Voltage Drop, DCC, LDCC
All of them should bring you some more info.
