The way I always interpreted it is that the 100D was the *minimum* safe
distance you could reemerge from jump space.

If you reemerge in an empty hex, the bigger problem will be whether you
have enough fuel. This is also part of the problem when you have a jump
mishap and arrive in a place where there is no giant gas available.

In GURPS Traveller Interstellar War, they describe how Terra reached
neighbouring system with Jump-1: the established refueling stations,
which just support this interpretation.
