It has to be around 5" altogether.
I just checked: I use a 4" with a 1" extension together on a 3/8 locking ratchet with a regular plug-wrench.
Like Randy says: It all has to be locking and stretch for that #6.
I also use anti-seize on the threads eventhough Porsche doesn't recommend it.
Snap on makes a 4" extension...tape the socket to it. Another option is one of these...but they've gone past the $50 mark in price:
