 </div>
 <button class="outer">test</button>
</div>

.container{
  display:flex;

  • You can do this with display: contents on the button container element.

    .container {
  display: flex;
  justify-content: space-between;
  outline: 1px solid red;
  margin: 2em;
}

.buttons {
  display: contents;
}
    <div class="container">

  <div class="buttons">
    <button>
 test
 </button>
    <button>
 test
 </button>
    <button>
 test
 </button>
    <button>
 test
 </button>
  </div>
  <button class="outer">
test
</button>
</div>
