Two copies of the simplest possible Hexany, offset by a harmonic seventh. This creates a scale of 1 8/7 7/6 5/4 4/3 10/7 35/24 5/3 7/4 40/21 2/1, with steps of 8/7 49/48 15/14 16/15 15/14 49/48 8/7 21/20 160/147 21/20. This only slightly reduces the size of the largest steps and has two duplicated notes, making it not particularly optimal as bihexanies go, but it still has four notes with perfect fifths above them and a decent number of simple chords available, making it not too hard to compose with once you get used to its quirks.
