A person could conceivable cover a lot of ground while keeping a foot over the required area.
Imagine a throwin right centered on the division line. The thrower has the left foot 1' on one side of the line and the right foot 1' on the other side. They could legally move left such that their left foot was 5, 6 or 7 feet from the divsion line (as far as they could stretch) as long as their right foot got no further than 1.5 feet from the divison line. They could then reverse and got back to the other side by the same amounts. They have covered 10-14 feet or more and are still legal.
To judge a spot not at a marked line, you have to just eyeball it. You can pick other marks on the floor as a reference. Often, if the floor has it, I use lettinging to judge it.
There is no limit on jumping or how many time one or both feet are moved.
