So basically, I would like to return all customer names that have 1 of
the 6 columns not empty, all customers that have 2 of 6 not empty. 3
of 6, etc.


I would use case:

SELECT CUSTNO, CASE WHEN COL1 IS NOT NULL then 1 ELSE 0 END +
CASE WHEN COL2 IS NOT NULL then 1 ELSE 0 END +
CASE WHEN COL6 IS NOT NULL then 1 ELSE 0 END as COLUMNS

WHERE COLUMNS BETWEEN 2 and 4

Something like that?
