Structural repair question?
(OP)
Is it bad practice to have a different number of fasteners on each side of a repair? For example a stringer repair, can you have 3 rivets on the forward side and 2 on the aft side of the discrepancy?

One issue is that you may only be adding two rows due to interference with other structure. Possibly using two rows of larger dia or hi-loks in lieu of rivets, etc.... if this is the case then make sure you don't superimpose stress concentrations. Ending two parts in close vicinity can really emphasis the bending at the end rows. If you only are putting two rows because the part ends, just cut the whole section out and only have one splice.
