Is there a maximum time between coats of paint?

I am painting a hallway with emulsion paint, got the first coat on yesterday, needs a second as expected. Hoped to do this today but may not get time to do it, would it be okay to leave second coat until next weekend? Just thinking if its left too long it may look streaky?

Yes of course it is OK to leave it.
Absolutely no problem at all.

How would people ever be able to redecorate.
There will be a time where a partial/touch-up will show more, more due to a change in surface over coverage due to brush/roller marks.
Trick is to do complete panels to an edge0
