Alternative layout the loop

For those interested, i’ve solved my problem using sizeof($wp-query->posts)

The end-result is this content-news.php template

<?php
//echo sizeof($wp_query->posts);
//var_dump($wp_query);die();

if(sizeof($wp_query->posts) == 4) : ?>
    <?php if( $wp_query->current_post == 0 ) : ?>
        <h3><?php the_title(); ?></h3>
        <div class="row">
            <div class="col-md-12">
                <p><?php the_excerpt(); ?></p>
                <p><a href="https://wordpress.stackexchange.com/questions/216989/<?php the_permalink(); ?>" class="btn btn-primary btn-sm">Lees Meer</a></p>
            </div>

        <div class="fh5co-spacer fh5co-spacer-sm"></div>
    <?php else : ?>
