you can have as many sockets in a radial circuit as you want
but any more than one s/o on the radial circuit you create then you need to protect the circuit by using fused spurs.
as for the disconnected phase being 'live' at 170v, this is very unusual. i'd unplug everything from the circuit (incase for some reason paranormal reason there is any abnormal capacitance, voltage sources like batteries there) i'd also disconnect and do some extensive IR tests to see if you've got any sort of leakage. i can say i've not come across anything like this before, except in emergency power/lighting supplies
let us know how you get on with this, i am intrigued
