A 17-limit bihexany. This creates a scale of 1 17/16 11/9 187/144 4/3 11/8 24/17 3/2 88/51 11/6 17/9 33/17 2/1, with steps of 17/16 176/153 17/16 192/187 33/32 192/187 17/16 176/153 17/16 34/33 297/289 34/33. This expands the base hexany out in a way that maximises its melodic utility, while also being fairly decent harmonically as well, with 4 perfect fifths and another 4 that are out by 289/288, giving you a decent number of places to build stable chords even if there are no simple 5-limit ones.
