The rows must be connected; it is not correct if there is a wide space between them. If the rows are not connected, their Salah is not correct. The rows must be connected. If the masjid is crowded and they pray outside, there is nothing wrong with that. If the masjid has space and there is room (to pray), then no. They must pray with the rows (i.e., of the people praying).
