The 5mm and 6mm hex heads are the longest so they can reach into bottle cage bolts, while the 2mm is the stubbiest for short-reach jobs like pedal tension screws. From a design perspective, it's really smart.
Funny you mention that, it's been years since I owned it, and my recollection may be faulty, but I'm pretty sure I remember having trouble tightening or loosening bottle cage bolts with that tool.
