That sounds good to me.

Having very little skill in Stealth (+3) and zero ranged attacks, I wish to be in the front line of the "not sneaking" crowd. I had imagined Karis and Rellek scouting out about 20-30 feet, and the rest of us following. As long as I'm relatively in the front of the crowd in back, I'm happy.
So, I propose:
Karis Rellek
[[4-6 squares]]
Todarr Moreen
Joshua Mardrick

The party makes its way to Greensfen, trying hard not to look too conspicuous. You pass a number of unhappy looking townsfolk, most of whom avoid looking at you. Those that do quickly look away and scurry off.
The tension mounts as Mardrick's house appears in sight for the first time. Rellek and Karis scout ahead, doing their best not to be seen, with the rest of the party hanging back close to the walls of the nearby houses. The rest of the party can just make out a couple of bodies standing in front of Mardrick's house. After a few moments, Karis and Rellek step quickly back and duck into a nearby alley.
[sblock=Karis and Rellek]
You saw two very tough looking men in hide armor. Each has two handaxes on their belt and a greataxe strapped to their back. You ducked back into the alley just as the closer of the two began to look your way, but you were not seen. You did not manage to see anything other than what's in front of you (ie the front of the house and any other houses).

Assuming from your description that the closer guy that almost saw Karis and Rellek did not see the rest of us?!?
I see (in my mind's eye) the rest of us hugging the wall so as not to be as conspicuous as a group of guys strutting three-abreast like an old slow-motion challenging lead-up to a fight scene.....
Of course, if your description DOES lead up to them spotting us, because we are walking that way, then Todarr would happily follow suit with that sort of cocky stroll right up to danger.... just wasn't part of the plan.

But as to answer the question, I propose that we let Karis and Rellek stay there, while the rest of us trudge down the street as though we were trying to be sneaky, but failing.... and semi-retreat back to where we are on the map there, pulling the two guys back to us, and perhaps leaving Karis and Rellek to come in from a flanking position... (I will use hand signals to convey that sentiment to Karis and Rellek from their position)
If agreed, I think we should try to find out from the men what is going on in this town, but lead into Mardrick beginning with the smack talk to rile up the men (a la "the men you sent couldn't even kill me, weakened with the blight" or something like that)

While the two axe-wielders could see you from that distance, they can't see you that clearly, and haven't given any indication that they view you as a threat (yet).

Rellek looks back to where the rest of the party remained partially hidden, nudging Karis, they concentrated as Todarr made hand signals to indicate his suggestions. Rellek noddded to show he understood, before moving off again.

Assuming Karis is with me, I guess we go north through the alley, west till we're behind the house, huging what terrain there is to avoid being spotted from within the house and come around to a flanking position as Todarr suggested. To the left of the furthest flunky from the main group.
Assuming Covaithe - you happy with this?
