No such rule exists in American English (at least, I've never heard of it).
The only rule is that a comma must be placed between two successive
adjectives, with a few exceptions (as with numbers, in "two successive",
though it still feels right to put a comma in there, anyway, since there's a
natural pause in speaking).
