I'm creating a store at the moment in 4.4.5 and have the products showing 4 across in the categories which is controlled via the appearance setting in admin.

I want the featured products on the homepage to show 6 across.

Does anyone know how to change JUST the featured products to show 6 across rather than using the default in admin?

There should be a setting below that which limits the column format to just Featured Products:
Display only featured products list in multicolumn format

Or are you asking to have FPs at 6, and everything else in 4 columns?

Yes, everything else at 4 and JUST featured products at 6. Everything is in multicolumn format.

OK, well your best bet then would be to create and call a 2nd template for either the FPs or the normal products.
In one of them, hard code it to show the columns you want, and leave the other to use the admin setting.

Yes, That was our thoughts on it but what we lack is the know how to have the new template use 6 columns instead of 4!

Well in products_t.tpl, simply replace all (probably 2) instances of:
$config.Appearance.products_per_row
with
6
