Praying Alone in a Row During Congregational Prayer

Question
If a worshiper arrives late and does not find a place in the last row, is it permissible for him to pray alone in a new row?
Answer
I say, and with God's help: It is not disliked for the worshiper to pray alone in a row if there is no space for him in the previous rows, and God knows best.
