You will have to check with the local electrical inspector for a ruling on the distance. Different countries have their own regulations on this. It all has to do with the amount of un-fused conductor that jurisdictions allow inside the house before the first over current device. This is usually the distribution panel's main breaker. Any short circuit in the mast head stack could run into the tens of thousands of amps as the only protection will be the utility transformer's primary fuse. The utility company has a habit of over fusing their Transformers, some times by 300 to 400%. This is done to stop nuisance tripping.

There is no specific distance specified in the code book. The meter stack has to be on the outside of the building and some times this means bringing it through the eave end of the roof line.

The electrical panel can not be placed any further in the building from the outside wall than ten feet.

Inspectors in some areas like for the service panel located in the first stud bay available nearest the service entrance, this usually keeps the conduit and wire length to a minimum.
