PES packets can be longer than 6+65535. Quoting from ISO 13818-1, 2.4.3.7

PES_packet_length – A 16-bit field specifying the number of bytes in the PES packet following the last byte of the
field. A value of 0 indicates that the PES packet length is neither specified nor bounded and is allowed only in
PES packets whose payload consists of bytes from a video elementary stream contained in Transport Stream packets.
