You say getting cat5 through a hole in a thick wall is a big problem, so 
even if on the other side of the wall they go in *completely* opposite 
directions you run one cat5 (which can actually give you two 100M 
connections, there are four sets of pairs in cat5, 100M only uses 2 sets 
of pairs) through the difficult obstacle and buy a cheap 10 quid 8 port 
switch for the other side of this wall so you now run more off from there.
