You could use nested frames with nonzero padding, e. g:
nav_bar = ttk.Frame(root, borderwidth=2, relief='ridge', padding=(0, 3))
nav_bar1 = ttk.Frame(nav_bar, padding=(5, 0))
nav_bar1.pack(side=LEFT)
btn_first = ttk.Button(nav_bar1, text='|<', width=4)
btn_first.grid(column=0, row=0)
...
nav_bar2 = ttk.Frame(nav_bar, padding=(5, 0))
nav_bar2.pack(side=LEFT)
btn_new = ttk.Button(nav_bar2, text='New')
btn_new.grid(column=0, row=0)
...
