Yes, they can.

I've seen some even further away.

I called an HVAC contractor I knew at the time and his response was 'Under the right design conditions, size of the refrigerant lines, manufacturers allowances for distances and height between the two units, it varies on many things - you'd need to look it all up in the book and check out what is there.'

I advised my client that 'it might have been designed within all the appropriate parameters, but I recommend having an HVAC contractor check it out and verify it is okay, that spending a hundred or so would provide the answer of *yes, it is okay* or *no, it is a problem*'.
