  That is the minimum I achieved by referencing the Single Digit Representations of Natural Numbers paper. Hopefully 6 is possible.

Lowest I managed so far is 9 digits:

(1 + 1 + 1 + 1)! + 1 + 1 + 1 + 1 + 1

11*(1 + 1 + 1) - (1 + 1 + 1 + 1)

Some other ways I came up with:

(1 + 1)^(1 + 1 + 1 + 1 + 1) - 1 - 1 - 1 (10 digits)

(1 + 1 + 1 + 1 + 1)!/(1 + 1 + 1 + 1) - 1 (10 digits)

(1 + 1 + 1 + 1 + 1)^(1 + 1) + 1 + 1 + 1 + 1 (11 digits)

11*(1 + 1) + 1 + 1 + 1 + 1 + 1 + 1 + 1 (11 digits)
