Provided a couple of conditions can be met, you can almost certainly
achieve this kind of layout by using CSS and not really involving
Typo3 very much at all. Try this (extremely basic!) example in a
browser:

<ul style="width:400px;float:left;list-style-type:none;">
  <li style="width:100px;float:left;"><a href="#"
style="display:block;background:#efefef;margin:1px;">Lorem</a></li>
  <li style="width:100px;float:left;"><a href="#"
style="display:block;background:#efefef;margin:1px;">Ipsum</a></li>
  <li style="width:100px;float:left;"><a href="#"
style="display:block;background:#efefef;margin:1px;">Dolor</a></li>
  <li style="width:100px;float:left;"><a href="#"
style="display:block;background:#efefef;margin:1px;">Sit</a></li>
  <li style="width:100px;float:left;"><a href="#"
style="display:block;background:#efefef;margin:1px;">Amet</a></li>
</ul>

( though you should of course move the styles to an external stylesheet :-) )
