Setting a max-width for flex items?

Question

I would apply a width or min-width to the .child items (or left/right padding that creates the distance between them) and margin-left: auto to the last item, which moves it right, independently from the others:

.container {
  display: -webkit-box;
  display: -ms-flexbox;
  display: flex;
  -webkit-box-orient: horizontal;
  -webkit-box-direction: normal;
  -ms-flex-direction: row;
  flex-direction: row;
  -webkit-box-pack: justify;
  -ms-flex-pack: justify;
  justify-content: space-between;
  position: relative;
  max-width: 1080px;
  margin: 0 auto;
  padding: 0 20px;
  box-sizing: content-box;
}

.child {
  list-style: none;
  min-width: 80px;
  padding: 10px 0;
}

.non-flex {
  margin-left: auto;
  padding: 10px 0;
}

<ul class="container">
  <li class="child">One</li>
  <li class="child">Three</li>
  <li class="child">Three</li>
  <div class="non-flex">
    I'm not a flex item
  </div>
</ul>
