The terms 4 class and 6 class Rabbits has to do with showing them.
Example - When you say That a Mini Rex is a 4 class Rabbit that means it is shown in 4 different classes, The classes depend on sex and age so you have Junior Bucks, Junior Does then senior bucks and senior does.
Example - If you say That the satin is a 6 class breed that means There is a Junior doe, Junior buck, Intermediate doe, Intermediate buck, senior doe and senior buck class.
They never show Bucks against does and Juniors against seniors unless its for
best of variety - Best Rabbit of That color no matter what sex or age
best of breed - Best Rabbit of that breed no matter what color, sex or age
best of show - Best Rabbit no matter what color sex breed or age
The average litter for a 6 Class rabbit is 8 to 10, for a 4 class rabbit the average number is 4 to 6. Exception to this seems to be the Havanas who consistently had 8 babies for me even though they are a 4 class animal.
The standard Rex rabbit is a semi-arch rabbit and is in the large class. They can also be put into classes by age, which are: Senior Bucks (males over 6 months, 3 - 4 1/4 pounds; ideal 4 pounds), Senior Does (females over 6 months, 3 - 4 1/2 pounds; ideal 4 1/4 pounds), Junior Bucks (males under 6 months, 2 - 3 pounds), or Junior Does (females under 6 months, 2 - 3 pounds)
it depends. if you have a bigger rabbit they usually live for at least 5 years. smaller rabbits usually live for 7 or longer. by smaller i mean your 4 class breeds and bigger are your 6 class breeds.

It depends on the size of your rabbit. A small rabbit (4 class) should get along well in a 24"X24" to 24"X36" cage, 6 class animals need 24"X36" to 24"X48" cages while the 'Giant' breeds need 36"X48" to 36"X 72" cages.

my rabbit only 4 moths old and has had 4 babes but only one is left but so unwell a 4 month old rabbit is too young to be bred and have babies. No wonder she lost them. Do not breed her again until she is at least 6 months old.
