My experience with multi-days is geographical, but we've always had a 1-hour 
hold each day.  Unlike many one-day rides, this may be the ONLY hold in many 
cases.  Of course, having all night to refuel between segments is a factor, 
too.

Although I am a proponent of 45-minute holds instead of hour holds, I rarely 
run or vet a 100-miler with less than 3 such holds, as well as some shorter 
ones.
