I have found more horrible Torx cap head screws - big ones for which I

in my set is T40 - which are 6.5mm across between points - so how the
heck are they sized ? 40 what, gnats crotchets ? I suppose I will have
to buy some more bits, but I need to measure these so I buy big
enough.

Can't help with why a T40 is a T40, but the following web page lists
all the point to point measurements with their corresponding T number:
