A 3/0 copper conductor with an insulation rating of 75 or 90 degrees C is rated at 200 and 210 amps respectively.
A 3/0 copper conductor will limit the voltage drop to 2% or less when supplying 200 amps for 80 feet on a 240 volt system.

There is no specific distance specified in the code book. The meter stack has to be on the outside of the building and some times this means bringing it through the eave end of the roof line.

On the lower end of the meter stack is the electrical panel. As you can see the distances will change in every circumstance depending on where the electrical panel is placed. The electrical panel can not be placed any further in the building from the outside wall than ten feet.
