There are several factors that need to be looked at to give you a correct 
answer.
How far to the exit and occupancy load are a couple that come to mind.
Open your code book to chapter 10 sections 13 thru 18 and make certain you 
meet the criteria.
You won't neccesarily start at the beginning of 13 and go step by step till 
you make it thru 18.
Since 2 exits is the normal minimum try to find sections that allow one 
exit.

Subject: [Florida Code Talk] Question on tenant separation and exit access


> Hi all,
>
> I'm working on a project in west Florida where the owner of a three story 
> office building wants to lease out part of the second floor. The building 
> was constructed in 2006 and is fully sprinkled. There are two exits, one 
> on each end of the building. The plan is to split the second floor in half 
> with a 2 hour wall and door interlocked with the alarm/sprinkler system.
>
> What are the requirements for tenant separation? If we put in the wall 
> splitting the second floor in half latitudinal and will the code allow us 
> to use interlocked exit access doors to provide the 2 exit requirement or 
> will each space be required to have two exits?
