Probably not grouped up at all. I've done plenty of Audaxes where I've ridden on a 100km stretch completely on my own only for other riders (on exactly the same route) to have arrived one at a time at 3 or 4 minute intervals before and then similar arriving after me. Or, if you puncture, you often see the steady drip of riders coming past.
(The fast lot at the front often work together, but I prefer to do the whole ride myself; I love having the time to think to myself. If I do ride with someone it's usually side by side rather than trying to form any sort of paceline.)
