Break statement inside a loop which is enclosed by if condition

Will the break statement inside a loop, which is enclosed by an if statement, get the control out of the outer if statement too? I wanted to print an array in a particular pattern and encountered this scenario. I wanted to break out of 'printing' when the count exceeded array size. Initially I put break statements inside the loops and also inside its outer if statement and it worked fine.

    //printing the pattern

    int space=1,spacecount=4,x=2,xcount=1,arrcount=0;
    for(i=1;i<=8;i++)
    {

        if(i==space)
        {
            printf("  ");

            for(j=1;j<=spacecount;j++)
                {
                printf("%d",arr[arrcount++]);
                if(arrcount>=size)
                break;
                }

            if(arrcount>=size)
                        break;
            printf("\n ");

            for(j=1;j<=spacecount;j++)
                {
                printf("%d",arr[arrcount++]);
                if(arrcount>=size)
                break;
                }

            if(arrcount>=size)
            break;

            printf("\n");
            space=space+2;
            spacecount--;
        }

        if(i==x)
        {
            for(j=1;j<=xcount;j++)
                {
                printf("%d\n",arr[arrcount++]);
                if(arrcount>=size)
                break;
                }

            if(arrcount>=size)
            break;

            x=x+2;
            xcount++;
        }

        if(arrcount>=size)
            break;
    }

Then I deleted the break statements inside the outer if and that too seems to be giving the same result.

    //printing the pattern

    int space=1,spacecount=4,x=2,xcount=1,arrcount=0;
    for(i=1;i<=8;i++)
   {
        if(i==space)
        {
            printf("  ");

            for(j=1;j<=spacecount;j++)
                {
                printf("%d",arr[arrcount++]);
                if(arrcount>=size)
                break;
                }
            
            printf("\n ");

            for(j=1;j<=spacecount;j++)
                {
                printf("%d",arr[arrcount++]);
                if(arrcount>=size)
                break;
                }
            
            printf("\n");
            space=space+2;
            spacecount--;
        }

        if(i==x)
        {
            for(j=1;j<=xcount;j++)
                {
                printf("%d\n",arr[arrcount++]);
                if(arrcount>=size)
                break;
                }
            
            x=x+2;
            xcount++;
        }

        if(arrcount>=size)
            break;
   }

But I always thought the break statement brings control out of just the nearest loop? I would love to have more clarity on this. What exactly is going on and why did it work? Any help is appreciated.

Edit : Ok I tried more inputs and it printed beyond the size i wanted. So I what I thought initially and what you guys are saying is true. Thank you.
