   It's your choice.   Don't know what material you're working, size or purpose of the 2 rooms, etc. so a lot of unknown variables. 

   For e.g., if you're laying floating wood planking,  CW from designers says run the lengths parallel to the room's longest wall to enhances the "room looks bigger" aesthetic.  But doing so in the primary room and continuing through to the secondary room may cause a conflict with that "design rule" in your second room. 

   IMHO however - it looks better if you continue on straight through from one room to the next instead of creating the break between them.

   I'm assuming that your floor direction is perpendicular to the opening between the two rooms.  As the above poster said it's basically a matter of esthetics.

   Say if you are running the floor in an ajoining dining and living room then it would probably look better running the flooring through, less work too. On the other hand if you have a big room opening into a small study then you may want to break at the opening and run it in the other direction in the smaller room, especially if there is a door.

   Visuallize the alternatives and do whatever is more pleasing to your eyes.
