Ferry Flights - Formation Spacing ?

I just saw a 6 ship fly over Phoenix at high altitude - single engine, possibly F-16s up around FL370. The formation spacing was 4 abreast estimated half mile separation, with 2 trailers maybe 600 yards astern with the same half mile spacing.

What is the standard USAF/RAF protocol for a long distance FJ formation ?
