Here

http://terrainformatica.com/w3/box-align-stretch.png

is how box-align:stretch can be made with flex units.

Key point there is this:

   border-spacing: 1* 10px; /* "springs" between elements */

Vertical spacing between rows is 10px and horizontal
space between elements is 1 flex so elements are spread
equally in each rows.

The document that you can try with the demo browser from
previous message is this:

<html>
  <head>
    <style>

      div.horizontal
      {
        flow: horizontal-flow; /* multiple rows */
        border-spacing: 1* 10px; /* "springs" between elements */
      }

      div.horizontal > div
      {
        border:1px solid brown;
        width: 100px;
      }

    </style>
  </head>
<body>
  box-align:stretch with flexes:
  <div class="horizontal">
    <div>111</div>
    <div>222</div>
    <div>333</div>
    <div>444</div>
    <div>555</div>
  </div>
</body>
</html>
