Tap & hold on the app, then drag to the Home screen & drop it.

Rearranging Apps on iPad home screen No matter how many ways I touch/hold the apps on my home screen so that I can move them around, the apps do not “jiggle.” The only thing that pops up is a box with the options of delete, share, or edit home screen.

If I understand your question, you can't. Apps are added in a grid to the next available space on the page. You can't leave a space empty and you can't change the spacing between apps.
