AXmEn classification for benzene (C6H6)?

How do I determine the AXmEn (molecular shape) of a molecule that has more than one central atom (either arranged in a ring or with a carbon skeleton)? How do I determine the electron-pair geometrey for simular molecules? Your help would be greatly appreciated!

The system is intended for molecules where you have one central atom and it describes the geometry of the boning arrangement around that central atom. In the case of benzene you can’t apply this to the whole molecule but you can apply it to the individual carbon atoms in the ring each of which has a trigonal planar arrangement of bonds....
