Where I am the general rule they must be spaced so a 4" ball [think about a baby's head] cannot pass thru them at any point. That means 2 per step in most cases.
Your code may differ. Best to ask your local building offical.

When I was a child I attended a beautiful little, very old Church on the main street of my town in England. When I went back to visit, 40 years later, guess what, there was a huge McDonalds standing where the Church used to be. I know that this is not an answer to your question, but it suddenly brought to my mind how aghast I was (even though I was no longer a member) that this historic building had been replaced by a McDonalds. I supposea burger "joint" just does not go along with thoughts of a Church next door, does it!

The recommended distance used to be 4" but this was changed in the UK to 100mm between centers maximum, with no minimum stated. The reason for the maximum is so that small chldren cannot fall through and or get their heads through and strangle themselves.

depending on the diameter of the spindle,4 inches,so a child,s head won't fit through it

A 100mm diameter ball must not be able to pass between the spindles, if you in the UK, it represents a small child's head which you would not want stuck through there. Good luck with your project

There were so many woodworking plans with this collection and you will not believe this but there are over thousands plans in the one package deal. Go here https://tr.im/N9D43
This is really something to find that many all together. For someone like me who is just really starting to get involved with woodworking this was like letting me loose in a candy store and telling me I could have anything I wanted. That was my dream when I was a kid.

Gonna go ahead and second? third? the answer of 4 inches. That's pretty much industry standard.
