Well, 'man mousedrv' says:
Option "Buttons" "integer"
Specifies the number of mouse buttons. In cases where the num-
ber of buttons cannot be auto-detected, the default value is 3.
The maximum number is 24.
and also
Option "ButtonMapping" "N1 N2 [...]"
Specifies how physical mouse buttons are mapped to logical but-
tons. Physical button 1 is mapped to logical button N1, physi-
cal button 2 to N2, and so forth. This enables the use of phys-
ical buttons that are obscured by ZAxisMapping.
Default: "1 2 3 8 9 10 ...".
I did have seen mice which generate those "higher button" events and
a software using that. "ZAxisMapping" is for wheel motion and four buttons
are taken aside for mice with two wheels (with 4 and 5 mapped by default).
