Only one Long Range Scanner is necessary per system to scan ships without a Scanner Jammer.

Just remember, at level 1 the scanner range is only 1 square. At level 2, 3 squares. If you want to spy on a certain ship, you may have trouble getting close to it -- esp. on simultaneous. The level 3 scanner reaches 5 squares. So I don't know if having it in the corner square of the solar system would let you scan the diagonal opposite square. You won't often miss a ship on level 3, but it could happen if someone was trying real hard.
Edit: Just made that a little clearer by changing one word
