Moving in salaah to fill the gaps in the saff

Q:

1. How many saffs (rows) can we cross while in the state of namaaz in order to fill the front saffs (rows)?

2. How much can we move horizontally in the same saff (row) in order to fill the gap?

A: In the state of namaaz if one moves more than three steps at once then the namaaz will break.

And Allah Ta'ala (الله تعالى) knows best.
