I have a 17 foot wall in the kitchen. At each end of the wall is a door. So this effectively makes the actual wall 12 feet long. I am updating my electrical and need to know if I need one or two receptacles on this wall. Since the effective wall length is 12 feet, I thought it would be one receptacle (6 feet from receptacle to each doorway).
The wall is not a counter top wall. Outlets for small appliance circuits have already been installed. The doors in each corner go directly to the corner of the room and there is no space between the door frame and the corner to install an outlet.

I would install at minimum 3 duplex outlets for a kitchen counter of that length. One foot from each corner and one in the middle.
Depending on how it looks then I might do 4 duplexes. One foot from each corner and one 4-5 feet from each corner.
You will NEVER EVER say to yourself: "Gosh, I wish I had fewer outlets!"
The only code thing you need to look into is whether they all need to be GFCI protected and whether each duplex needs a dedicated circuit.
Update per your edit:
It's just a regular house wall so treat it as such.
I think the only applicable rules are "within 6 feet of the doorway and within 12 feet of the previous outlet". You can have an outlet every foot if you wanted to.
I would go for 1-2 feet from each door and maybe one in the center of the wall.
You might still need to verify the GFCI ruling and/or dedicated circuit ruling since it is in a kitchen.
