John Brierley's book has Porto >> Santiago in 9 stages, ranging from 18 to 33 km. Rounding out the stages, it's about 225 km Porto > Santiago (via ruta central). Sounds more than do-able with your time line, even if you want to take it slower.

I want to do the Porto - Santiago with a 9 yr old. Is it possible in 10 days? He's actually the one who wants yo do it with me.

Depends on the child, but with the day-after-day distances, I'd think it would really be wearing on and difficult for most nine year olds. But you know your own son . . .

I wouldn't. Does seem like it's enough time to domwith a child that age.
