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).
