I can’t say for sure if double repeating in the way you suggest will work, but it if it does then it's likely to result in quite heavy losses of throughput, though this might be more than adequate for streaming music.
If all your locations are on the same mains power circuit (or even a large proportion), then you might find that you get far better throughput and stability by using Powerline products;

These can vary significantly in performance/capability/cost from a simple point to point connection providing wired Ethernet ports at each end (which would work for you if you already have an AP/Extender), or if you currently only have a router then there are Powerline products which will provide a wireless AP at the remote end, which might suit your purposes fine.
I’m quite a heavy user of WiFi products, but there are times when Powerline products will provide a much better solution.
