If we're postulating that wormholes / Alderson points are natural --
which
is the way I think of them -- then there can be a lot of them.	Not one
between every pair of stars, though.  Let's say that the presence a
jumpline is determined by both stars' mass and temperature plus some
handwaving and divided by the distance between the two.  That would mean
a
M dwarf would only have a jumpline  if the other star is really, really
close; an O giant would have lots of connections.
