So while I can't give you a solid answer, it would seem to me that a distance of a 100 feet would not cause an issue. I am also not sure you would need an insulated wire to connect to the ground rods as a regular galvanized wire might add to the grounding but I am not sure on that point. Long time fencing companies like Pel and Gallagher used to have technical staff to help with questions but I am not sure those exist today. You could look on their web sites or use the company that made your charger if different.

A fence volt meter is a useful tool to work on electric fences. I like the digital ones that list the actual volts. Can be very useful to locate voltage drops.
