Solid Hardwood, Engineered and Laminate Flooring - laminate in hall

I am just about finished with my flooring project. I have one question I am doing my hall way which is 3 feet wide. I am laying the boards side to side down the hall. I am using witex laminate flooring. Can I use full length boards for the 7 foot long hall or do I need to cut them so the seams do not line up? If i use full length The only seam would be at the start of the new row would this cause any problems. (example) hall goes east to west Laminate is north to south. The boards are 4 feet long so all I need to do is cut of around 12 inches to fit in hall way. Let me know whats the best way to do the hall. Thanks

You should really stagger the joints for maximum strength and your warrantee may be a consideration as well.

Thanks for your reply. I am going to stagger the boards. I want the job done right. Thanks Doug
