Per their instructions here:
https://www.ionos.com/help/domains/configuring-mail-servers-and-other-related-records/using-an-spf-record-to-prevent-spam/

Just add these to your SPF record like so.

v=spf1 a mx include:_spf.perfora.net include:_spf.kundenserver.de ~all

You probably don't need the MX mechanism given they publish a different
subnet in SPF for their sending MTAs, but feel free to verify by testing if
you remove it.

To your original question about IP addresses, the ip4 mechanism allows for
singular IP addresses as well as CIDR format to add subnets. (i.e. ip4:
74.208.4.192/26) But you don't need to do this, as this subnet is covered
by the SPF record includes above provided by IONOS.

Thanks,
