This is no given diameter. Hurricanes are rated based on wind speed, not size. A hurricane is classified as a category 5 if sustained wind reach or exceed 157 mph.
There is no such thing category 6 hurricane. Any hurricane with winds over 155 mph is a category 5.
There is no such thing as a category 7 hurricane, the strongest is 5.
No, a category five hurricane is the most severe category on the Saffir-Simpson Hurricane Wind Scale. Category five hurricanes have sustained wind speeds of 157 mph or higher and can cause catastrophic damage.

The "stage" of the hurricane is it's intensity in size and wind speed. Category One is just a nasty tropical storm with an attitude. Category Five is a horrifically devastating monster hurricane.
