Flex Wrap and Evenly Distribute Between Rows

Demonstration of question

Hello. The image presented above is a menu of buttons (text has been intentionally obfuscated). The menu functionally moves items to the second row as intended, but it does not evenly space the items between the rows. I have looked up solutions online, but they either have not worked (both for me, and some even in its own fiddle), or they have been too restricting. Can anyone recommend a way of making the items split evenly between the two (or more) rows?

Here is the associated CSS:

#tabs {
    display: flex;
    flex-direction: row;
    flex-wrap: wrap;
    background-color: rgb(50,50,50);
    justify-content: space-around;
}

#tabs button {
    background-color: <?php echo $style['buttonColor']; ?>;
    color: white;
    margin-left: 5px;
    margin-right: 5px;
    margin-top: 10px;
    margin-bottom: 10px;
    padding: 10px;
    font-size: 18px;
    border: 1px solid black;
    -webkit-transition-duration: 0.4s; /* Safari */
    transition-duration: 0.4s;
    cursor: pointer;
}

You can add flex-grow: 1 to your children elements to make them fill the empty space.

If you want an even number in each column that breaks dynamically, you will probably have to resort to media queries at certain break points: https://www.w3schools.com/css/css3_mediaqueries.asp
