Ok, I finally worked this one out. Sorry for the delay. 
It appears that the rightmost control in a rebarband is automatically
extended to the right edge of the window.

To get around this behaviour, you need to do this ...

include Win32Lib.ew
without warning

constant 
    Main = create( Window, "Test", 0, Default, Default, 640, 480, 0 ),
    bar = create( ReBar, "", Main, 0, 0, 0, 34, 0 ),
    band1 = create( ReBarBand, "band1", bar, 0, 0, 0, 0, 0 ),
    tb = create(ToolBar, "", bar, 0,0, 0, 34, 0),
    btn1 = create( PushButton, "btn1", tb, 0, 0, 30, 30, 0 ),
    btn2 = create( PushButton, "btn2", tb, 35, 0, 30, 30, 0 )

addToBand( tb, band1)

WinMain( Main, Normal )

So you actually place a toolbar in the rebarband and then put the 
buttons into toolbar.
