It can be simpler
Yes and no.
What you mean is using airport basestations in a setup called "roaming" (-> Apple Tech Docs). But that requires, that all basestations are connected via ethernet to the LAN. I haven't found any solution yet, where I can set up a basestation (without being connected to a computer) that picks up a network "wirelessly" and re-transmits it. I don't know at all if a basestation can in fact "join" a wireless network in a way an airport /WLAN enabled computer / laptop does... Anyone ?
It can be simpler
Only the first base station has to be connected to the LAN via ehternet. All of the others don't. As long as they are in wireless range of each other all they need is power via a wall outlet. Base station 1 which is connected via ethernet passes info to base station 2 wirelessly which then passes info to base station 3 wirelessly, and so on, and so on. All of the other base stations pick up info from one another.

Only Airport Extreme supports wireless bridging (or wireless distribution as Apple calls it): |
