\multicolumn{6} {title}\\
\hline
& & & & & \\
& & & & & \\
& & & & & \\

The definition of your tabular enviroment could be changed to
something like

\begin{tabular}{@{\extracolsep{0pt}}cccccc}
...
\end{tabular}

to make the column separation 0pt and therefore remove all inter
column gaps. If you want to enlarge the separation, simply choose a
different value, like 5pt, or say 10pt. Read more on this topic at

If this solution is insufficient, please post again.
