If you take a week's break between two h1b jobs, will it affect my ability to avail the 60 day grace period if i m laid-off from new employer (the rule i think says you can use this period only once per approved petition). Can anyone confirm ?

Your understanding is correct. An individual may benefit from the 60-day grace period multiple times during his or her total time in the United States; however, this grace period may only apply “one time per authorized nonimmigrant validity period.”
