I have noticed that people often move from the place where they are reading their Farz namaaz to another place in the mosque to read their sunnat and nafl salaah. Is there some benefits in doing this?

Answer

It is Mustahabb (preferable) to break up the Sufoof (rows) and spread out after the Fardh Salaat so that a person entering does not fall into doubt regarding the Jamaat's completion.

Concerning a Munfarid (person who performed his Fardh without Jamaat), it will be better for him to shift to another place for his Sunnat and Nafl Salaats as well. (Fataawa Darul Uloom vol.1 pg.243; Darul Ishaat)

Which sunnah salaah are emphasised (muakkadah)?

“Sunnah Salaah should not be unduly missed during a journey. However, if the Musaafir is in a hurry then, apart from the Sunnah of Fajr, it will be permissible for him to omit the other Sunnah Salaahs.”
