They are called sextuplets. A group of five is called quintuplets.
Sorry, I did not see that you excluded the word sextuplet.
So how about sextet, sestet, hexad, or half a dozen?

A group of six is called a sextet.
I think the below would would work for other groups of various numbers.
2 - duo
3 - trio
4 - foursome
5 - fivesome
6 - sextet
7 - septet
8 - octet

Sextuples or sextuplets sounds naughty, for this reason IBM and others use hexa- for six.
So I guess it would be hexatuple if you want to avoid sniggers.

sextet (which sounds vaguely naughty too)

geometricly, one would use the prefix "Hex" as in hexagon.
