According to the MK build manual.

"These are secured to the chassis rails with "P" clips spaced within the minimum SVA requirements, (ie Approx. 275mm)."

it is 12 inches, but most go for less than that to keep to the right side of the regs, hence the 275mm.

Is there any minimum distance between the loom, brake pipe and fuel pipe?

Due to lack of space in my tunnel, it would work out best to have all three on the underneath of the tunnel top - one in the centre, one on the left and one on the right.

Can anyone see any problems with this?

I thought the same with mine, but when I actually started putting the lines in it wasn't as bad as I thought. I think SVA like to see the rear wiring loom quite distant from the fuel pipes, but as to how distant.............??
