Sadly for you there's a 'cap' and holiday entitlement all relates to five day weeks: there's no entitlement for more if you work 6 days pw.

Yes there is. Holiday pay is calculated based on weekly pay. So if you earn £600 for doing 6 days instead of £500 for doing 5 days you're entitled to 5.6 weeks at £600. If you take a week off even though a normal working week is 5 days you'll still be paid £600.

If you work varied hours where overtime is not optional or you're on agency/zero hours then your holiday pay is calculated as an average of the previous 12 months (used to be 12 weeks but changed in April).

A worker doing 4 x 12 hour days will still be entitled to a min of 5.6 weeks leave but that will be 22.4 days at 12hrs

Nope, you're wrong. They're entitled to 5.6 weeks at 48hrs per week. Source: someone who has worked up to 84hrs a week.
