It is advisable to have 2 or more power connections to the track on a large layout to better distribute power.

Your previous post seems to indicate that you may have bad sections of track causing loss of power at various points in the layout. These track sections need to be repaired/replaced. Do not just add additional power connections to solve your problem. Repair or replace all bad track sections first, then you can add additional power connections.
