It's impossible. The current scale only goes up to category 5, which does not have a maximum wind speed.

There is currently no official category 6 designation for hurricanes in the Saffir-Simpson Hurricane Wind Scale. The scale ranges from category 1 to 5 based on wind speed.

How many times bigger is a category 6 hurricane than a category 2 hurricane?

There is no such thing as a category 6 hurricane. The maximum is category 5. This category is open-ended, meaning that once a hurricane reaches category 5 strength (sustained winds of 156 mph or greater) it is classed as a category 5 no matter how much stronger the winds are. Also, hurricanes are not rated by size. They are rated by wind speed. A stronger hurricane is not necessarily bigger. Category 2 winds are 96-110 mph. Category 5 winds are 156+ mph.
