By default cleave only allows you to attack a creature directly adjacent to your previous target, so no, you wouldn't be able to attack a creature 10 feet away on a cleave attack.

Ok from my understanding monkeylunge/lunge allows you to attack 10 foot away (medium creature) cleave gives extra attack after successfully hitting
But could a character hit a creature adjacent to her and lunge into cleave
yes actually as long as the initial target is adjacent to you, and the next target is adjacent to them.
so basically you can cleave in a straight line away from you. x->0->0
FYI they still haven't fixed monkey lunge to not suck, so exclude monkey lunge from this question. other wise you wont have a standard action to use your cleave.
*checks PFSRD* WHAT?! That feat is almost 4 years old. How in the name of all that is holy has Monkey Lunge NOT gotten an errata yet?
